We have brand-new generative AI training options, and are constantly adding to our training catalog on Google Cloud Skills Boost. This includes two learning paths that each feature comprehensive content: one is for the non-technical audience (introductory) ‘Introduction to Generative AI learning path’, and the other is for technical practitioners (more advanced) ‘Generative AI for Developers learning path’. Prefer less of a time commitment? Opt for individual courses and labs with the topics that suit your specific interest.
Powered by Google Cloud technology, generative AI is reimagining the way that organizations do business by leveraging data. The use cases are far-ranging, from having smarter conversations with and creating rich experiences for customers, to enhancing business processes, to helping developers write code, and more.
Google Cloud has been working for decades to bring AI technology solutions to organizations, and our tools make it easier to build experiences across our cloud portfolio. Whether you’re executive-level, an IT decision maker, in a non-technical role, or a technical practitioner, we have videos, courses and labs to help you learn about the power of generative AI. Plus, labs give you direct access to Generative AI Studio and Vertex AI (Google Cloud’s machine learning platform) to get hands-on, technical experience. Get started with our training list below.
No-cost foundational courses: no technical experience needed
Don’t have a lot of time but want to learn the basics? Our no-cost Introduction to Generative AI course is a great place to start. It takes about 45 minutes to finish.
If getting started has you hungry to learn more, continue your no-cost learning to earn the Generative AI Fundamentals skill badge. It includes the course above, plus two other courses: ‘Introduction to Large Language Models’ and ‘Introduction to Responsible AI’. In total, this takes about two hours to complete and you’ll earn a digital skill badge to share on your resume and social channels to validate your foundational understanding of Google Cloud generative AI technology.

Text embeddings with DeepLearning.AI and Andrew Ng
We have brand new content built in collaboration with DeepLearning.AI, taught by Andrew Ng, founder of DeepLearning.AI and a globally recognized leader on the topic. Enroll for no-cost in “Understanding and Applying Text Embeddings with Vertex AI” to learn various tasks like classification, outlier detection, text clustering, and semantic search. You’ll also learn to integrate them into LLM applications. Check out the video below to hear about these exciting opportunities found within text embeddings and generative AI.
New for technical practitioners: Intro to AI and ML
Learn the big picture of how Google supports the data-to-AI journey and how generative AI is embedded in the AI development platform in our new course, Introduction to AI and Machine Learning on Google Cloud, designed mainly for technical practitioners — AI developers, data scientists, and ML engineers. The course covers the technologies, products and tools used to build an ML model, an ML pipeline, and a gen AI project based on the goals of data and AI practitioners. Made up of four primary modules that include labs and quizzes, this introductory course takes about six hours to complete and requires 12 credits.
