So you closed it. Everyone at work seems to know what to ask, and you would rather not ask a younger colleague.
You sat through hours of slides
A workshop that talked about AI for a day and never let you touch it. You left knowing the words and still unsure what to do on Monday.
You have no time to figure it out alone
Between work and family, there is no spare evening, and a few YouTube videos at night have not made it stick.
Available programmes
Two programmes, open to everyone
New to AI? Start with AI Foundation. Already using one tool? Go deep with an AI Tool Deep Dive.
Level 1
AI Foundation
For anyone starting out; no technical background needed. AI at work, prompting and AI agents (tools that carry out tasks for you). Start with the half day, or choose the full day to add data and AI security.
Each card opens that session’s dates on mereka.io. Copilot in Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Teams needs a Microsoft 365 Copilot licence; some Canva AI features need a paid plan.
How a session works
From watching to doing, in three steps
1
Watch it done live
The trainer works through everyday tasks on screen, one step at a time.
2
Do it on your own tasks
Bring a few tasks from your week: a report, an email, a spreadsheet. You finish them with AI during the session, with the trainer there to help.
3
Keep going for three months
Stuck later? Bring your questions to a live monthly alumni session with a trainer.

“Actually, both of us, we are not IT savvy. … After attending today’s training, I find that I can do lots more from ChatGPT.”
Jelena, nutrition practitioner · Mereka AI Lab event

I’m Jelena. I’m actually a nutrition practitioner, and I got invited by a friend, telling me that I have a lot to learn about the future, about the AI. Actually, both of us, we are not IT savvy. That’s why everything that’s shared today is like an eye opening, especially to me. After attending today’s training, I find that I can do lots more from ChatGPT.

“What I learned today is there are other AI tools that we can use apart from ChatGPT. … Today taught me a little bit more about the ethics of using AI.”
Sara and Yasmin, Orphan Care Foundation · Mereka AI Lab event
Read the transcript
Hi, I’m Sara. I’m from Orphan Care Foundation and this is my colleague, Yasmin. Hi, my name is Yasmin. I’m working together with Sara and we’re here today to learn about AI. So what I learned today is there are other AI tools that we can use apart from ChatGPT, and I see tools that would actually benefit Orphan Care, but I’ve yet to go further deep into it. Basically, today taught me a little bit more about the ethics of using AI. There are rules, and without policies and stuff, people go really ballistic about it. And I’m glad I’m here because I get to learn a little more every day about AI, which I do not know yesterday.

“I really find that it really makes my work very productive, a lot more productive compared to the times when I didn’t have AI.”
Timothy, digital marketer · Mereka AI Lab event
Read the transcript
Hi, I’m Timothy. So, I’m a digital marketer myself and I’ve been using AI to basically help me to generate copy, and I really find that it really makes my work very productive, a lot more productive compared to the times when I didn’t have AI and I had to really think of the copy myself. So copywriting is one of them, thinking about different strategies, giving me ideas on the type of videos or the type of different contents that can be made.

Questions
Frequently asked
I am not good with technology. Can I keep up?
Yes. If you use email, Excel and WhatsApp at work, you can follow along. The trainer goes step by step and checks that everyone keeps up.
Are there weekend sessions?
Yes. Some AI Foundation and AI Tool Deep Dive dates fall on a Saturday or Sunday. Choose "Weekends" in the session calendar to see them.
Can I send a small group from my company?
Yes. Each person books a seat.
Is it HRD Corp claimable?
Yes, for employers registered with HRD Corp (formerly HRDF). Follow the three steps under the session calendar, or read our HRD Corp claim guide. When your company claims through HRD Corp, a 4% HRD Corp fee is added to the invoice. If HRD Corp rejects the claim, your company pays the invoice.
How do I pay?
Book and pay online at the mereka.io checkout. If your company pays, ask us for an invoice instead.
Which language, and is my camera on?
Sessions are in English and Malay. Join with your camera on.
What do I need to join?
A laptop with a camera, a stable internet connection and Zoom. For AI Foundation, a free ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot account is enough. For an AI Tool Deep Dive, an account for that tool. We email the joining link, any pre-work and what to set up before the session.
What happens after training?
We enrol you on the Mereka learning platform, where the lesson materials stay. Your certificate of completion and any HRD Corp claim documents follow within 3 working days, and an impact survey at one month.
