Abstract: The main objective of establishing community colleges in Malaysia is to strengthen Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) in Malaysia. In addition, its goal is to implement lifelong learning courses for the local community and targeted groups. This is in line with the increasing demand for lifelong learning courses. This study aims to examine and analyze the acceptance and involvement of the community in the Lifelong Islamic Studies (PISH) course, which is an Islamic-based lifelong learning program at Kolej Komuniti Temerloh. This is a qualitative study in the form of content analysis. The research data was obtained through primary sources from the records of the PISH course at Kolej Komuniti Temerloh. This data was supplemented by secondary sources such as customer service findings and reports related to PISH, as well as observations by the researchers on course participants. The study found that the acceptance and involvement of the community in the PISH-related courses have increased and remained relevant. However, there are questions about how the existence of Kolej Komuniti Temerloh contributes to the implementation of lifelong Islamic education. Based on this research, the study will explore the role of community colleges as an institution involved in lifelong Islamic learning (PISH) through observation of participation in each course as a transformation for student and community development.
