Key facts

• A Mereka Academy course.^[1]
• Free: the only enrolment options cost RM0, with no paid certificate.^[2]
• About 5 hours of effort, online. Instructor-paced: the course team decides when each section opens.^[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

You learn the basics of content creation: planning what to make, structuring your message, and producing something your audience finds clear and engaging^[1]. Every example uses green skills and sustainability topics, so you practise on real messages, for example for a community project, a social media page or a small green business^[1].

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 enjoyed the Media & Creative taster, or if you want to run a campaign for a cause. No design software or experience is listed as a requirement^[1].

What this means for you

• One planned, finished piece of content is the start of a portfolio, which matters more in creative work than certificates.
• The green theme is a bonus if you also care about Environment & Sustainability; the planning skills work for any topic.
• Five hours fits into a fortnight of short sessions.
• Personal Branding and Speak with Impact are good next courses if you want to keep going.

Your next step

1. Enrol in Content Creation(opens in a new tab) and finish the first section this week.
2. Plan and make one short post about a green or community topic you care about, then add it and one thing you would change 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^[6]. 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.
