Train up and open your own repair shop
Finish the 4-month Advanced course, then open your own shop — full control, full risk, full upside. The longest path and the hardest, but the only one with a real ceiling.
This is for you if
- ✓You're serious about running a business — not just doing repairs
- ✓You can put aside RM 15,000–RM 50,000+ for tools, parts inventory, rent and signage
- ✓You're prepared for 6–12 months of slow ramp-up before steady customer flow
- ✓You can handle being the technician, the salesperson, the bookkeeper and the cleaner — at least at the start
This isn't for you if
- ✗You want quick income — a new shop typically loses money in months 1–3
- ✗You haven't decided on a location or you don't yet understand foot-traffic in your area
- ✗You expect SPR to fund or franchise your shop — we train you, the shop is yours

What your week looks like
Mornings: open up, check overnight WhatsApp orders, run repairs at the bench. Lunch: walk-in customers. Afternoons: more repairs + ordering parts + chasing payments. Evenings: posting before/after photos to social, replying to enquiries. Weekends are your busiest days — expect to work them for the first year.
Honest reality check
This is the path with the highest ceiling and the highest risk. Many graduates do open their own shops; most who succeed treat year 1 as a learning year, not a profit year. Pick a location with phone-using foot traffic (mall edges, neighbourhood centres, near schools / colleges). Cashflow management matters more than repair speed in the first 12 months.
