Google: Introduction to Generative AI

Short beginner course on what generative AI is, how it differs from other machine learning, and where it fits into everyday work.

Why I recommend it: A one-sitting starting point. Take it before you put "AI" on a resume so you can talk about what these tools actually do, and where they get things wrong.

Google IT Support Certificate

Entry-level IT certificate covering troubleshooting, networking, operating systems, security, and customer support.

IBM: Python for Data Science, AI & Development

Google UX Design Certificate

Certificate covering research, wireframing, prototyping in Figma, and building three portfolio projects.

Why I recommend it: In UX the portfolio is the resume. The reason to take this one is the three case studies you finish with, so treat them as real work, not homework.

Google Data Analytics Certificate

Certificate covering spreadsheets, SQL, R, Tableau, and the full analysis process from cleaning to presenting.
