Start a course

Before you start

• No sign-in or account is needed
• Use a recent Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox; a computer is recommended for practice
• If you are attending a class, check with your instructor which course to take

Steps

1. 1Pick an entry point
   New to AI? Start with AI 101. Have a specific goal? Look at Learning Paths first. Working in government? See GoAI 101 and choose between its 8-hour and 6-hour editions
2. 2Open the course page
   Read the overview, level, duration and recommended prerequisites
3. 3Open the first module
   Choose the first module in the curriculum, or use the primary action on the course page
4. 4Mark sections complete
   After reading a section, select "Mark as complete"; progress is recorded in this browser

• Browse courses
• Learning Paths
• AI 101

Expected result

You are in the first module with at least one section marked complete. From then on, My Learning takes you straight to the next unfinished place.

Common problems

1. 1I can’t find a course
   Clear the filters on the Courses page, or search for the course code (for example DS 101) from the header.
2. 2Can I start without the prerequisites?
   Yes. Prerequisites are recommendations and never block you.
3. 3Which GoAI 101 edition should I take?
   Choose by the time you can release: both editions cover the same eight capability facets. The 8-hour edition has eight modules and a separate artifact per activity; the 6-hour edition has six modules and one integrated Canvas. The comparison table on either course page lists the differences, and you do not need to take both.
