It is safe to say that most people still have very little knowledge or experience with GenAI. Which leaves us with the task to find good resources that can quickly upskill the team with the right information.

I recently pulled together a list of 12 online courses.

Many courses are free. But this can change at any time with no notice. Some are free to audit and charge to unlock labs, badges, or certificates of completion.

Beginner courses target all professionals. Intermediate level courses have technical requirements and are geared towards developers or data scientists but can be good for citizen developers and citizen analysts.

Most beginner courses are a bit dry and mostly reading. Courses over 1 hour duration offer some hands-on practice.
