Time is essential for small business owners- and AI could save the average worker 170 hours per year (the equivalent of 21 working days). If you want to learn how to use AI to reclaim that time, this certificate is for you. No previous experience is required.

 

You’ll learn how to:

  • Apply AI confidently and responsibly to your business from day one
  • Collaborate with AI to generate plans, tailor content, and analyze data
  • Vibe code apps to handle specific work tasks and challenges
  • Boost your productivity by turning manual tasks into time-saving workflows.

 

By the end of the course, you’ll have a professional certificate and a collection of AI tools and resources you can use immediately in your day-to-day work.  You will also get three months of no-cost access to Google AI Pro, so you can practice directly inside the tools you already use, like Gmail and Google Docs.
