Left out on purpose
Google AI Essentials on Coursera is not free to take, so it is not linked. Google Prompting Essentials follows the same paid pattern and is not linked. Kaggle’s old learn URL did not resolve on 2026-10-25. DataCamp, paid Coursera specializations, and the paid Building AI certificate are not linked. The Google Machine Learning Crash Course is the free introductory course in their place.
