The account this course uses is free, and no lesson requires a paid tier. That is unusual among the AI tools taught here and it is the main practical reason to start with this certificate: you can finish the entire thing without spending anything, then decide whether a paid assistant is worth it to you.

No. The coding module starts from nothing, writing and running small programs, building a web page, then making a simple app or game. It is also honest about the ceiling: you can get working code out of a chat window, but not a finished, deployable application, and knowing that distinction saves a lot of frustration.

Yes, and one lesson covers it. It is a hardware question before anything else: a large variant on a machine without the memory for it will be unusably slow. Running locally is the only option that genuinely changes who holds your material, which is why the course treats it as a privacy decision rather than a novelty.

Roughly 7 to 11 hours of actual work if you run the prompts yourself rather than reading them, which is the shortest of any certificate here. That makes it a realistic weekend, and a sensible way to get the core prompting skill in place before committing months to something longer.

That is your employer, your contract and your country deciding, not this course. What the course does say plainly is that every hosted service reads what you send it, and that routing it through a platform in another country changes whose servers hold your material without stopping the collection. Only running it locally changes that.

Start here if free matters, if an open model you can host yourself appeals, or if you want the shortest route to the core skill. Start with ChatGPT if you want the wider surface: images, file uploads, custom GPTs, memory, voice and automations. The prompting skill transfers almost completely, and both are in one subscription.

It does, on exactly the same terms as every course in the subscription. Finish the lessons and quizzes and a twenty-question final exam opens at a 75% pass mark. Passing issues a certificate with a verification code and a public link anyone can check, at no cost beyond the subscription itself.
