Free AI Professional Certification from Google: Use It, or Build a Business On It.
Join us as we work through Google's AI Professional Certificate on Google Skills — 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? Sign up for the 7-day free trial at Google Skills after we complete our 7 weeks of training.
Note: Coursera offers the same certificate for $49 USD for the one month you need it.
Either way, it's 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.
Three ways this pays off:
1. Use the certificate to pivot into a career as an AI Professional.
Whether you are mid-career or a fresh graduate, this certificate tells potential employers that you know how to leverage AI to increase your productivity - and that you care enough to invest in your own education.
2. 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.
3. 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:
- Google's AI Professional Certificate (free from Google Skills or paid through Coursera membership)
- Full fluency with the Google AI Professional curriculum
- 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

Who this is for:
• New grads and mid-career professionals who want to pivot into a career as an AI Professional.
• Business owners (or recent grads) curious about AI who haven't found the time to dive in solo,
• 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.
