Sir,
Regarding with the SHS VMS if ever our school was not able to attend the seminar can we still ask for account and access to Portal of SHS voucher? We are a private school.
If we could, where can we get the account/access and what are the requirements, and who are the key people we need to send off for us to have an access to SHS VMS
Thank you so much
