Certificate in AI Image Generation Using Midjourney
Get the image you actually intended, then finish it.
This Midjourney course treats a generation as the start rather than the finish: prompt anatomy and parameters, then references and the edit tab, then three projects that end in an exported file.
Overview
What this Midjourney course covers
Anybody can type a sentence and get four images back. This Midjourney course is about the next part: the five-part anatomy of a prompt, the parameters most people leave at default, and diagnosing a bad result from what the four images disagree about rather than rolling again and hoping.
You learn reference images for keeping a subject looking like itself, three lessons in the edit tab, tileable patterns and post-production, then build three projects that each end in an exported file: an interior visualization, a character poster, and a commercial set including a brand mockup and a storybook laid out for print. Read the ethics and licensing lessons before you sell anything, because those terms are far easier to comply with than to unwind.

What you will be able to do
Requirements
Course requirements
- Midjourney on a paid plan. At the time of recording there is no free tier, so nothing can be generated without paying.
- Nothing else that costs money. The other tools used in the projects all have free options.
- No drawing ability and no prior design software. Everything outside Midjourney is taught as it comes up.
- A subject of your own for the project modules, plus somewhere to keep files, because those modules produce plenty.

FAQ
Common questions about the Midjourney course
Is there a free version of Midjourney?
Not at the time these lessons were recorded, and that is the single biggest thing to know before enrolling. You can browse other people’s images without paying, but you cannot generate anything. If you need a tool with a genuine free tier, the Leonardo AI certificate in this school is the one to take instead.
Do I need to be able to draw to learn Midjourney?
No. Nothing in the course assumes drawing ability or prior design software, and every outside tool it uses is taught as it comes up. What it will not do is teach you design: it hands you a good-looking image and cannot tell you whether the composition serves the brief. That judgment is a separate skill worth building.
Does the Midjourney course cover the edit tab and inpainting?
Three consecutive lessons on the edit tab, plus separate lessons on reference images, tileable patterns and post-production. Repairing a fault inside an otherwise good image by erasing a small region and reprompting it is the technique that turns a near-miss into a usable file, and it is where most of the practical value sits.
Can I sell images I make with Midjourney?
The licensing lesson answers that for your plan, and the course deliberately sends you to the current terms rather than restating them, because those terms change. What it does insist on is disclosing AI involvement wherever you publish, which is increasingly what platforms and clients expect and is far easier to do from the start.
How long does the Midjourney course take?
Around 20 to 25 hours if you build alongside it, and most of that time sits in the three project modules rather than in the videos. It is self-paced with no deadlines. Doing one project properly teaches you more than watching all three, so treat the project modules as the course rather than the finale.
Should I learn Midjourney or Leonardo AI?
Midjourney if style and the strength of a single generation matter most, and you are willing to pay from day one. Leonardo if you want to keep working on an image inside the same app, train a model of your own, or start on a free tier. Both certificates come with one subscription, so plenty of people learn both.
What do I get when I finish the Midjourney course?
Finished work first: an interior visualization, a character poster, a brand mockup set, a trend poster and a storybook, all exported. Then the credential. Once every lesson and quiz is done a twenty-question final exam opens at a 75% pass mark, and passing issues a certificate with a verification code.
