Questions people actually ask

Are these AI courses really free?
Yes, all of them. Every lesson is readable in full with no paywall, no trial, no card and no signup. Your progress saves in your own browser.
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.
Do I need coding experience to learn AI here?
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.
How long does each course take?
Most courses run about 15 to 20 minutes in total, split into lessons of roughly three minutes each. The two longest take a little over half an hour.
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.
Can I learn AI on my own without a class or a degree?
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.
