GitHub Copilot
GitHub Copilot is a free intermediate course from Microsoft Learn, online. Microsoft Learn doesn't say whether there is a certificate.
Before you sign up
Suits developers and DevOps engineers who use GitHub Copilot and want the GitHub Copilot certification. The two self-paced Fundamentals learning paths are free and marked beginner, while Microsoft rates the course itself intermediate. The main caveat is that Microsoft gives the instructor-led length only in days and shows no price for it, and the exam is separate. A free course on another coding assistant is Claude Code: A Highly Agentic Coding Assistant from DeepLearning.AI.

It covers using GitHub Copilot, a generative AI tool for developers, effectively while managing the ethical and operational risks of AI use.
