Ten free Google AI courses, ten Google Skills badges, in the order that builds: every direct link, the duration and level from each course page, a 2-week plan and the honest notes
The companion to the reel. Google Skills is Google's own learning platform (launched October 21, 2025: nearly 3,000 courses, labs and credentials, with extensive no-cost options), and these ten generative-AI courses on it are free to join, with every course page ending in the same line: Earn a badge today. PAGE 1 — the ten courses as a numbered path with the direct skills.google link, duration, level, badge type and a one-line why for each: Introduction to Generative AI, Introduction to Large Language Models, Responsible AI: Applying AI Principles with Google Cloud, Prompt Design in Agent Platform (the hands-on skill badge), Introduction to Image Generation, Encoder-Decoder Architecture, Attention Mechanism, Transformer Models and BERT Model, Create Image Captioning Models, Introduction to Vertex AI Studio. PAGE 2 — the 2-week plan: week 1 = courses 1–5 (5h 15m), week 2 = courses 6–10 (4h), 9h 15m total by the pages' own duration lines. PAGE 3 — honest notes: joining and the video + quiz courses are free, hands-on labs use credits (Google's GEAR program gives developers 35 a month at no cost), skill badge vs course badge, a badge is not a certificate, how to show badges on LinkedIn from your Google Skills profile, and the one swap (the viral list's Introduction to Responsible AI is retired; we substituted the live Responsible AI course), plus Google's official beginner path. PAGE 4 — your first move. Every fact read from the linked skills.google pages and Google's announcement on September 7, 2026. Independent guide from Hyperautomation Labs — not affiliated with Google.
