Machine Learning Crash Course
Machine Learning Crash Course is a paid beginner course from Google, online. It ends with a badge. Google doesn't say the price or how long it takes.
Before you sign up
Suits technically minded learners who are new to machine learning, or want a refresher, and are comfortable with basic algebra and statistics. The modules run from regression to neural networks, embeddings and large language models, and each one is self-contained. The main caveat is that Google offers no formal certificate, only a badge for each module passed with 80% on its quiz. A paid alternative with a certificate is the Machine Learning Specialization on Coursera.
