Mereka Academy course: AI Fluency

Key facts

• A Mereka Academy course.^[1]
• Free: the only enrolment options cost RM0, with no paid certificate.^[2]
• About 2 hours of effort, online. Self-paced: start and finish when you like.^[1][2]
• Open now: it started on 1 January 2026, with no end date or enrolment deadline set as at 23 October 2026.^[2]
• In English. You sign in with your Mereka account, the same one you use for First Move.^[3][4][5]

What you'll do

Seven modules take you from the basics of AI and generative AI, through how AI is changing internet search, to the principles of using AI responsibly, including its limits^[1]. You then practise with Microsoft Copilot on realistic everyday tasks^[1]. No technical background is needed^[1].

If you would rather learn in Bahasa Malaysia, the Academy also lists Teroka AI untuk Semua^[6][3].

How to start

1. Open the course page(opens in a new tab) and choose Sign in, then the Mereka option^[4].
2. Use the same Mereka account you use for First Move: both sites send you to the same Mereka sign-in^[4][5]. The first time, the Academy asks you to fill in a short registration form, including your country^[4].
3. Enrol. There is nothing to pay^[2].

Who it suits

You, if you liked the Technology & AI taster, and anyone who wants to check AI answers rather than copy them. It builds on the Day 1 "check an AI answer" activity, and it is the natural first course before Agentic AI for All.

What this means for you

• Knowing where AI goes wrong is a skill in every career area, and you can show it with real examples.
• Two hours fits into the first week after First Move.
• The practice uses Microsoft Copilot. If you cannot use Copilot, the ideas still apply to other AI tools.
• It is an introduction, not a qualification.

Your next step

1. Enrol in AI Fluency(opens in a new tab) and finish module 1 this week.
2. Use one technique from the course on a real task, write down one thing the AI got wrong, and add it to your Future Map before your 30-day check-in.

Availability and age check

Catalogue and cost observations are dated 23 October 2026. Re-check the provider page before starting, and stop if a payment or unavailable course appears. The linked Mereka Connect agreement sets a minimum age of 16^[7]. It is not an Academy-specific registration policy; check the current Academy terms and any guardian-permission step before enrolling. Use the verified direct sign-in link below if the ordinary login screen omits the Mereka option. External courses use their own accounts and terms.

Access checked 24 October 2026: sign in to Academy with your existing Mereka identity(opens in a new tab). On first use, choose your country and continue; no second password is needed. The ordinary Academy login screen may omit the Mereka button, so use this link or the course button. External course providers use separate access rules.

Availability note, 24 October 2026: some Academy pages kept loading after sign-in during our check. If this happens, keep your work here and use an open-reading alternative or contact the First Move team. Do not enter another password or pay to get past a loading page.
