Free certificate
Free AI courses with a free certificate, and an honest word on what it is worth
Every course on LearnWithZavi is free to take, and every one ends with a free certificate of completion you can print or add to your LinkedIn profile. There is no fee to unlock it and no signup needed to take the course.
What it is: a record that you finished the lessons. What it is not: an accredited qualification. LearnWithZavi is not an accredited institution and says so on the certificate itself. If an employer, visa or professional body needs a recognised credential, you need an accredited course. If you want to show you have learned something practical, a certificate plus something you actually made with AI is the stronger combination.
How it works: pick a course, finish every lesson (your progress saves in your browser as you go), then open your certificate from the final lesson and print it or share it.

Common questions
- Is the certificate really free?
- Yes. There is no fee to take any course and no fee for the certificate. There is nothing to pay for anywhere on the site.
- Is the certificate accredited?
- No. It records that you completed the lessons and says so plainly. It is not a formal qualification, and the site does not claim otherwise.
- Can I add it to LinkedIn?
- Yes. The certificate page gives you a link that fills in LinkedIn's Licenses and Certifications form with the course name, LearnWithZavi as the issuer and the month you finished.
- Do I need an account to get a certificate?
- No. Progress saves in your own browser. An optional free account only exists so your progress can follow you to another device.
- Which course is quickest to finish?
- Each course card shows its total time. Most take well under an hour, split into lessons of a few minutes each, so you can finish one in an evening.
