Direct answer:<\/strong> To choose an AI<\/a> trainer in Malaysia, look for HRD Corp certification (so the training is claimable), verifiable academic credentials, proven corporate delivery, and cross-industry experience. Dr. Muhamad Hariz Muhamad Adnan is an HRD Corp certified AI trainer and Senior Lecturer at UPSI<\/a>, delivering AI upskilling for corporates, educators and government agencies nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who Is Dr. Muhamad Hariz?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dr Muhamad Hariz Bin Muhamad Adnan holds a Doctorate in Artificial Intelligence and is a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Computing and Meta-Technology, Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI). He is an HRD Corp–certified AI trainer in Malaysia, delivering corporate AI training, digital transformation consulting and postgraduate AI supervision for organisations across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Five Checks That Matter Most<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. HRD Corp certification<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If your organisation contributes the levy, this is the difference between training that costs you nothing and training that comes out of your own budget. Ask for the trainer’s certification status in writing before you schedule anything — see the HRD Corp claimable AI training guide<\/a> for how the claim works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Verifiable academic credentials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

AI is a field where confident presentation is easy and accuracy is hard. A doctorate, peer-reviewed publications or a university teaching post are signals that the trainer can distinguish what the research supports from what the vendor marketing claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Real corporate delivery experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Teaching a university cohort and running a workshop for a sceptical operations team are different skills. Ask how many corporate sessions the trainer has delivered, in which sectors, and what the group sizes were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. An outcome-based, customised curriculum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Request the exercise list, not just the module titles. Good AI training has participants working on their own documents and workflows by the second hour. If the agenda is entirely conceptual, your team will leave impressed and change nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. What happens after the session<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most behaviour change fails in week three, not on training day. Ask whether there is a follow-up clinic, a channel for questions, or a review of what participants actually implemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
