Seven Days, Seven Free AI Certificates
A practical one-week sprint for adding beginner-friendly AI certificates and badges to your learning record.
Use this as a momentum plan. These are completion certificates or badges, not degrees. They are useful as proof that you finished structured work, especially when paired with a small project.
One Credential Per Day
Day 1: Kaggle Intro to Machine Learning
Build basic models in-browser. Start here because the setup is light and the early win matters.
Day 2: Microsoft + LinkedIn Generative AI
A broad professional intro to generative AI concepts, ethics, model types, and Copilot-style workflows.
Day 3: Anthropic AI Fluency
A practical framework for delegating, describing, judging, and checking AI work.
Day 4: IBM SkillsBuild AI Fundamentals
The biggest lift in the set: machine learning, NLP, computer vision, chatbots, and AI ethics.
Day 5: Elements of AI
A calm, university-backed introduction for understanding what AI is without heavy math.
Day 6: Kaggle Intro to Deep Learning
Your second Kaggle badge, focused on neural networks and how deep learning models learn.
Day 7: Google + Kaggle Gen AI Intensive
A cohort-based path covering models, embeddings, agents, evaluation, and MLOps. Check whether a live round is open.
How to Present Them
Label them honestly as certificates of completion or badges. Add one sentence about what you built or practiced in each one.
