Questions

Are Google Career Certificates free?

Google Career Certificates are generally offered through paid platforms, though financial aid or audit options may exist. This page focuses on Google courses that are free to learn; certificate costs are noted on each card.

Are the certificates really free?

Each course card states the certificate status: free means the provider issues a certificate or badge at no cost, paid means the learning is free but the certificate costs extra, and none means no certificate is offered. Always confirm on the provider's page before you enrol, as policies change.

Where do I enrol?

Every course links straight to the provider's own page. We do not host the courses or take payment; you sign up with the provider directly.
