About this online course
Google's self-paced introduction to working with generative AI in a professional setting. Built by Google's AI experts and aimed squarely at non-technical workers who want to use AI tools effectively without becoming engineers. Around ten hours of content across five modules: how AI works, productivity workflows, prompt writing, responsible use, and staying current. Strong on practical application — every module has hands-on activities using real workplace scenarios. Earns you a Google-branded certificate on completion, which is one of the few AI certificates that carries weight on a resume because of the Google name behind it. Best for office workers, marketers, HR professionals, and operations folks who want to add AI fluency to their resume and immediately apply what they learn to their day job.
