Free AI Certification by AI Professionals Network: Use It, or Build a Business On It.
Join us as we work through Google's AI Professional Certificate on Coursera — completely free. We're working together, live, one course a week, for 7 weeks.
At the end of the 7 weeks, you'll walk away with an AI Fluent certificate from AI Professionals.
Want the actual Google AI Professional Certificate as well? Coursera offers that for $49 USD for the one month you need it. Totally optional, and by week 7, you'll already know the material cold, so it's a fast finish if you choose to add it."
Whether you want to put AI to work in your business, or build a brand-new AI service offering as your business, this is the on-ramp.
Two ways this pays off:
1. Use AI to run your business better.
Walk away knowing how to use Gemini, NotebookLM, and AI Studio for the stuff that eats your week: research, content, data, planning, communications. Real prompts and workflows you'll use the next morning — not theory.
2. Turn it into a new offering for your business.
The Google name carries real weight on a profile. If you choose to get the official certificate, you have a credible, recognizable badge to anchor an AI-consulting service: helping other business owners do what you just learned. We've watched this exact path work for people in our other AI sessions; this is the structured, certified version of it.
What you'll walk away with:
- AI Professionals Network's AI Fluent Certificate
- Full fluency with the Google AI Professional curriculum
- [Optional, paid] A Google-issued AI Professional Certificate (You'll need to pay for one month of Coursera membership)
- A portfolio: research hub, content assets, a data project, a working AI-built app
- Real workflows for your own business, or a packaged offering to sell to others
- 7 weeks of momentum instead of a free course that sits half-finished
The format:
- 🗓️ Every week for 7 weeks: 1 to 3 hours per week
- 🕙 10:00 AM EDT | 3:00 PM BST | 7:30 PM IST
- 💻 Live walkthrough + Q&A, work alongside the group
- 🆓 100% free — Google's course, free Meetup, just show up
Who this is for:
Business owners (or recent grads) curious about AI who haven't found the time to dive in solo — and business owners who see AI consulting as their next revenue line. No coding background needed. No prior AI experience needed.
Group accountability beats solo procrastination. Every time. Let's learn together.
Note: This event is being shared across multiple groups, including AI student groups - we're expecting a mix of attendees at various levels in their careers.Get AI Skilled — AI Professionals' July 2026 Cohort (Google AI Curriculum)
