Every course is self-paced. Every course gives you a certificate you can actually put on your LinkedIn.

The academy is backed by a Higher Education Advisory Board chaired by Rick Levin, former Yale president and ex-CEO of Coursera. This isn't a random content dump, it was designed to actually teach something.

Save this. Share it with someone who's been putting off learning AI because of the cost.

There's no excuse left now.
