Before you sign up

Suits small business owners and staff who want to use AI for research, customer data and operations. Hands-on practice in an AI chat tool makes it practical, and the completion badge is free. The main caveat is the starting point: Anthropic recommends AI Fluency: Framework & Foundations first, and lists this course at 3.5 hours. A shorter beginner alternative is AI Foundations from OpenAI Academy, free and about 70 minutes.
