Our take

Suits beginners who want a widely shared certificate and hands-on practice with Gemini. Five courses cover AI basics, productivity, prompting, responsible use and keeping up with AI. Coursera's module times add up to 8 hours, though Google's own page says under 5. The main caveat is cost: USD 49 a month after a 7-day free trial (US/Canada pricing, varies by country), with financial aid available. For a free Irish option on prompting, try Prompt Engineering for You from CeADAR.
