AI Certification Course Online by VDCI - Course + Reviews

Summary

This 88-hour bundle works through three of the current general-purpose AI platforms in sequence: Google Gemini, Claude, and Claude Code. It starts with practical prompting and file and multimedia handling, then moves into building custom AI workflows around a student's own job tasks, and finishes with building and deploying a working web application.

Each course builds on the one before it, and no prior coding experience is assumed. Coursework includes Google Workspace integrations, chain-of-thought prompting, persistent knowledge bases, and role-specific plugins. Students finish with several capstone pieces, including a Gemini setup tailored to their role, an end-to-end Claude workflow, and a deployed application built with Claude Code.

Who this course is for

Working professionals in any function, including marketing, HR, operations, finance, data, and project management, who want to use AI tools more deliberately at work. No coding or technical background is required.
