OpenAI's free certificate track, fully mapped: 3 courses, ~4 hours, 3 official certificates — each with a PUBLIC verify link anyone can open

The companion to the video. OpenAI's academy (academy.openai.com) hands out official, named, dated Course Completion Certificates for finishing its three-course track — and every certificate gets a public link that anyone can open and verify, no login. We tested the whole path on camera on Aug 25, 2026: completed the flagship course in one sitting, watched the certificate mint instantly, and verified the public link from a logged-out browser. INSIDE: tonight's plan — the three courses in the exact order with the site's own time budgets (~70 / ~80 / ~90 min) · all 3 courses audited on one page (what is actually inside each, enrollment counts, levels, direct links) · THE CERTIFICATE PLAYBOOK — from free account to a LinkedIn-ready credential, step by step as tested · THE VERIFY-LINK TRICK — the public certificate URL printed on the card itself, why you should share the LINK not a screenshot, and the honest Anthropic comparison (their badge links sit behind a sign-in wall — verified logged-out) · the events calendar and campus wings most people never find · honest notes (a completion certificate is not OpenAI's separate proctored Certification, and no AI-company certificate is accreditation). Every count site-verified Aug 25, 2026. Independent map from Hyperautomation Labs — not affiliated with OpenAI.
