Mereka Academy course: Skills Profiling

Key facts

• A Mereka Academy course.^[1]
• Free: the only enrolment options cost RM0, with no paid certificate.^[2]
• About 1 hour 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 profile your own skills and connect them to what matters to you, rather than treating career planning as a purely technical exercise^[1]. The course looks at moving past default choices towards decisions based on your own values and interests, finding purpose in life and work, and building a habit of lifelong learning^[1].

The catalogue lists it in English, although its course code ends in "MS"^[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

Every First Move learner, whichever career area you lean towards. It repeats and deepens the Day 1 work on strengths and values, so it makes a good first course in the week after the programme.

What this means for you

• It turns "I am good at..." into examples you can use in your Future Map, applications and interviews.
• One hour is a low-cost way to sharpen the reasons behind the two options you chose on Day 3.
• It does not tell you which course to pick. Follow it with the courses listed for your career area.

Your next step

1. Enrol in Skills Profiling(opens in a new tab) and finish it in the first week after First Move.
2. Add one skill, with a concrete example of when you used it, to the "Me" section of your Future Map.

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.
