The first series of National Service Program (NSP) has been implemented on February 2004 that held at 16 camp and as well as Public Higher Learning Institutions (IPTA) all over Malaysia. The objectives of NSP are to build the youth self-independent and instill the spirit of patriotism and loyalty towards their country. Through this implementation, we try to study on the effectiveness of NSP in Universiti Teknologi Mara Kampus Samarahan (UiTMCS) from the perceptions of trainers. This means that, the study only concentrate on the first series of NSP that was held in UiTMCS. Thus, we are focus on the trainers from UITMCS itself and also the outsider to be our respondents. This study is designed to determine whether the NSP has achieved its objectives or not. Even though this NSP was done smoothly, it does not mean that this program was successfully implemented. So, from this research we can evaluate how far the effectiveness of the first series of NSP through the respond that given by the trainers which conducted in UiTMCS. The findings that we gained can be used to suggest the way to make the next NSP to be more effective and will be improve in order to achieve the government objectives.
