Frequently asked questions

No. The course is beginner-friendly and teaches coding using AI tools, even if you’ve never programmed before.

You only need basic computer skills, simple math (algebra + basic stats), logical thinking, and curiosity to learn coding.

You’ll work hands-on with GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex, Hugging Face, Python, TensorFlow, FastAPI, Jupyter, VS Code, and more.

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
