Frequently asked questions

Yes, it is completely safe. Saritasa is an authorized technical partner working with Google to securely generate and distribute your unique Google AI Pro trial codes.

While the initial window is hosted by Saritasa to manage the code distribution, the actual redemption process—where you enter your information and activate your trial—takes place entirely within the one.google.com domain. Your sensitive account information is handled directly by Google’s secure infrastructure, and Saritasa does not have access to your Google Account credentials.

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.

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
