The best part is that some of the courses have no prerequisites and are completely free, so even individuals with no programming experience can benefit from them.

Here's everything you need to know about these artificial intelligence courses.

## Who is this course intended for?
This course is for anyone who wants to learn about Generative AI products, Large Language Models, and how to deploy Generative AI solutions.

However, of the **ten courses given by Google**, **about five require some experience of Python and Machine Learning**. But don't worry; in the following part, I'll go over each course in further detail and point out which courses have no prerequisites.

By the way, completing a course earns you a wonderful badge like the one below.
