- Which free AI course should a complete beginner start with?
- Getting Started with ChatGPT if you have barely used AI before, then Prompt Engineering. If you would rather be told exactly what to do, the Start Here page gives you a three course route based on your job.

- No. Nothing on LearnWithZavi assumes you can code. The courses are written for office workers, teachers, managers, small business owners and job seekers, not developers.

- Do these free AI courses come with a certificate?
- Yes. Finish any course and you can print a free certificate of completion. LearnWithZavi is not an accredited institution, so it is not a qualification, and we say so on the certificate itself.

- Yes. Everything here is designed for self teaching, in any order, at whatever pace suits you. No qualification is needed to start and none is assumed.
