Course Objective

What is practical AI training for executives?

Short answer

HR and operations teams lose the largest share of their week to recurring work: reports, letters, schedules, data pulled from three systems into one. This seven-hour course takes executives, senior executives and managers through their own task list, has each of them automate one recurring task end-to-end, and measures the time saved before the day ends. One full day or two half-days. English, Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin or Japanese. HRD Corp claimable, delivered by Technicity Sdn Bhd.

COURSE STANDARD

The gap those figures describe is the reason this course exists: the work is recurring, the tools are already on every desk, and nobody has been shown how to connect the two. Participants arrive doing the work by hand and leave with one piece of it running without them.

Audience & Format

Who it serves, and how it runs.

Attends
Executives and senior executives who do the recurring work, alongside the managers and team leads who own the process. The people who will actually run the automations should be in the room — not only the person who approves the training.
Also Suits
Business owners, and companies sending two or three staff to bring the practice back and cascade it internally
Prerequisites
Daily computer use in a business role; prior hands-on exposure to at least one generative AI tool. Not suitable as a first exposure to AI.
Schedule
7 training hours, run two ways. One full day, or two half-days of four hours — same or consecutive weeks. The split keeps participants away from their desks for only half a day at a time, and gives them a week to apply Modules 1–2 before returning for the build.
Delivery
Face-to-face in-house, or live online (instructor-led, with system-generated attendance). Participants bring laptops; hands-on throughout.
Group Size
In-house 2–25 pax · Public or online per session plan
Language

Programme · 7 Training Hours

Five modules. Every one ships an artefact.

01

Task Audit & Automation Mapping

1.0 HR

Task inventory method; frequency–risk–value scoring; which tasks suit AI and which require human judgment. Each participant audits their actual role and scores a minimum of ten tasks.

Learning outcomeParticipants will be able to analyse their own role’s recurring tasks and classify each by frequency, risk and value to produce a scored automation-candidate map, in accordance with the Technicity task-audit framework.
OUTPUT  Personal automation map, minimum 10 tasks scored
02

Structured Prompting for Business Documents

1.5 HRS

Context–task–format method; iteration and refinement; verification as a fixed workflow step. Participants produce three real documents from their current workload.

Learning outcomeParticipants will be able to apply the context–task–format prompting structure to produce business reports, proposals and correspondence to professional standard, and demonstrate verification of every fact, figure and name before use.
OUTPUT  Production-grade document set with verification log
03

Build: Automating One Task End-to-End

2.0 HRS

From prompt to workflow; chaining steps; templates and reusable assets; AI coding assistants for non-programmers. Guided build of one complete automation per participant. This module is the course’s skills-demonstration assessment.

Learning outcomeParticipants will be able to construct a working automated workflow for one recurring task selected from their Module 1 map, and measure the time saved against their current manual process.
OUTPUT  One working workflow + before/after time measurement
04

Data Handling & Analysis with AI

1.5 HRS

Structured data in and out of AI tools; analysis prompts; error patterns in AI-generated figures; when to compute outside the model. Participants run a full analysis cycle on a provided business dataset.

Learning outcomeParticipants will be able to operate AI tools on spreadsheet and tabular data to generate summaries, comparisons and first-pass analysis, and identify the quality checks required before AI-produced figures are used in business decisions.
OUTPUT  Analysis brief with quality-check checklist
05

Governance, Standards & 30-Day Rollout

1.0 HR

What may and may not enter an AI tool; usage standards for teams; sustaining the practice after the course. Each participant drafts their organisation’s usage rule-set and 30-day plan. Post-assessment administered.

Learning outcomeParticipants will be able to apply data-confidentiality rules to AI usage in their organisation, set verification and usage standards for their team, and prepare a 30-day implementation plan covering the next three tasks to automate.
OUTPUT  AI usage rule-set + 30-day rollout plan
For HR Teams

What an HR department builds in the room.

01
Module 1

Task audit of the HR calendar: which of the recurring 40 tasks go first

02
Module 2

Statutory deadline calendar (EPF, SOCSO, PCB, HRD Corp levy) and a permit-expiry register with 90-day alerts, both drafted and verified

02
Module 2

Offer letters and standard correspondence, citizen and non-citizen variants, verification logged

03
Module 3

One workflow end-to-end: CV stack to ranked shortlist memo, or exit-interview transcripts to three root causes

04
Module 4

Monthly HR report reduced to a one-page decision memo, with the quality checks before figures are used

05
Module 5

The organisation’s usage rule-set: what may and may not enter a tool, written for HR data

Every artefact is built on the participant’s own files. The training day ends; the workflow keeps running.

What Participants Leave With

Nothing theoretical leaves the room.

Every artefact is built on the participant’s own work — their tasks, their documents, their numbers. The training day ends; the workflows keep running.

Before You Book

Where does your team’s time actually go?

The same five-level rubric used to place participants on the day. Three questions, answered as your team is today — not as you wish it were.

The 30-second proficiency check

Answer for the staff you would send. The result tells you where they sit, and whether this course is the right fit.

Q1When your team uses AI at work, what do they mostly use it for?
Q2Has anyone automated a recurring task end-to-end, so AI now completes it without being asked each time?
Q3Does your organisation have a written rule on what may and may not be entered into an AI tool?
RUBRIC PLACEMENT
1 AWARE2 DEVELOPING3 COMPETENT4 PROFICIENT5 EXPERT
Assessment & Measurable Outcomes

Competence, measured — not attendance, certified.

01

Pre and post competency placement

Every participant is placed on the Technicity AI Tool Proficiency Rubric — five levels, with Level 3 “Competent” anchoring the general professional role — before and after the session. The movement is documented.

02

Skills demonstration

The Module 3 workflow build, assessed against a completion standard: task automated end-to-end, output verified, time saving documented.

03

Work-output review

The document set and analysis brief produced during Modules 2 and 4, reviewed against professional-use standards.

04

Employer report

Organisations receive a per-participant competency summary — rubric placement, workflow built, measured time saving. A concrete return on the training day, not a stack of attendance slips.

Common Questions

Questions buyers ask before booking.

01

Our executives cannot be away from their desks for a full day.

The same seven hours run as two half-days of four hours, in the same or consecutive weeks. Participants complete the task audit and document modules first, apply them for a week, then return for the automation build — which usually produces a better result, because they arrive with a real problem in hand.

02

Should we send managers or executives?

Send the people who do the recurring work. Managers own the process and should understand what changes, but the executives handling reports, schedules, quotations and correspondence are the ones who will build and run the automations. Two or three staff from the same function attending together works best — the practice then has somewhere to live when they return.

03

Can the course be delivered in Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin or Japanese?

Yes — English, Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin or Japanese, one language per session. Mandarin delivery serves Chinese-owned Malaysian companies, where staff are typically Chinese-educated and absorb technical material faster in the language they were schooled in. Japanese delivery matters for Japanese-owned companies in Malaysia, where management may prefer Japanese while the staff session runs in English or Bahasa Malaysia.

04

How is the outcome measured after the day ends?

Rubric placement before and after, a skills demonstration in which each participant builds one working automation, and a per-participant employer report showing placement, workflow built and time saved. Attendance is not treated as an outcome.

05

What is the difference between introductory and practical AI training?

Introductory training explains what AI is. Practical training has participants build with their own work in the room. HRD Corp draws the same line: its Focus Area category covers hands-on training in nine priority fields, including Industry 4.0 and future technology, where artificial intelligence sits.

06

Who should not attend?

Anyone who has never used a generative AI tool. This course assumes prior casual use and moves to systematic use; a first-exposure participant will spend the day catching up rather than building.

Trainer

Who runs the room.

Eric Yap

“Show me the working version. A tool that only exists in a slide is not a tool.”

Twenty years of standing between people who could not otherwise understand each other — as a recruiter placing Japanese and Malaysian talent, and as an interpreter in rooms where a mistranslated sentence carried real cost. That work teaches one discipline above all: find the thing the other person actually needs, and say it in language they can act on. It is the same discipline this course applies to AI.

Eric builds what he teaches. The automation methods in this programme are the ones running his own operations daily — document production, content pipelines, business tooling. Nothing in the room is demonstrated from a manual; it is demonstrated from use.

A Keio University graduate with native-level Japanese, he has worked across Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia in recruitment, market entry and executive facilitation, including interpretation for government and ministry-level engagements. He teaches in whichever of four languages the room actually thinks in.
