I completed this course as part of the Google AI Professional Certificate and found the overall value disappointing.
The content is very basic, with extremely short videos, limited reading material, and only a small amount of depth. While the labs were useful, they made up the majority of the practical learning experience. Much of the course felt like a high-level overview rather than professional-level training.
I had previously completed Google's AI Essentials and AI Prompting courses, both of which heavily promoted this certificate as the next step. Unfortunately, I did not find that this program delivered significantly more depth or advanced knowledge than those earlier courses.
I also did not appreciate the frequent promotion of Google products and services, including Gemini and Google AI Pro. A paid educational program should be able to stand on its own merits without relying so heavily on additional services.
My biggest concern is the value relative to the cost. The amount of content in these courses is small enough that a dedicated learner could complete a substantial portion of the certificate in a very short period of time. Given the brevity of the videos, readings, and lessons, I do not believe the current subscription price is justified.
In my opinion, this material would be more appropriately offered as a free introductory course or as a significantly lower-cost certificate. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this program at its current price.
