Google for Education
Google AI Educator series
Google AI Educator series is a free course from Google for Education, online. It ends with a free badge. Google for Education doesn't say how long it takes.
We rate it beginner level; the provider doesn't say.
Before you sign up
Suits school and higher education staff who want free AI literacy training built around Gemini. Short sessions cover foundations, teaching uses and administrative tasks, taken self-serve through the Google Learning Centre or with a live facilitator, and a digital badge follows a short quiz. The main caveat is that hands-on work uses Google tools such as Gemini. A free, tool-neutral alternative is Ethical and effective practices for AI and data in education from the EU Academy, with a certificate of completion.
