From the Desk of Dr. Than Lee Lee
Founder & Chairman of the Board of Governors
Than Institute was founded in 1999 as a shared vision between myself and my late father — a man whose quiet strength and commitment to education continue to inspire every step of our journey.
Our mission began with youth, but it has evolved into something broader and bolder: to make impactful learning accessible across generations. Education is not a phase of life — it is a lifelong pursuit, especially in a world that demands constant reinvention.
One of our proudest initiatives is the ThED programme, which introduces children to the world of STEM and entrepreneurial thinking through hands-on, inquiry-based learning. We believe that nurturing curiosity at a young age builds the foundation for adaptable, creative, and future-ready individuals.
At the same time, Than Institute is a leading provider of professional skills training for adult learners. We proudly deliver HRD Corp–certified programmes that support working professionals in reskilling, upskilling, and advancing their careers. From communication and leadership to digital fluency and workplace innovation, our training empowers growth — personally and professionally.
As an HRD Corp Certified Trainer, I believe learning should be practical, personalised, and powerful. Our approach is built not just for compliance, but for real-world transformation — enabling Malaysians from all walks of life to become more competent, agile, and confident in the evolving economy.
Whether you’re a parent seeking inspiring education for your child, or a professional looking to grow your career, Than Institute is here to support your learning journey. We honour the past, embrace the present, and prepare you for the future — with knowledge that moves, skills that matter, and growth that lasts.
