Google has launched the Google AI Professional Certificate, a self-paced program covering data analysis, content creation, research, and vibe coding.
Every participant receives three months of free access to Google AI Pro. Eligible U.S. small businesses can access the entire program at no cost through a separate application (more on eligibility below).
The certificate is available now on Coursera, Google Skills, and Udemy. In the U.S. and Canada, the subscription costs $49 per month.
What The Certificate Covers
The program consists of seven modules, each of which can be completed in about an hour. No prior AI experience is required.
Participants complete more than 20 hands-on activities. These include creating presentations and marketing materials, conducting deep research, building infographics, analyzing data, and building custom apps without writing code.
After completing all seven modules, participants earn a Google certificate they can add to LinkedIn and share with employers.
