Fifteen free AI courses from NVIDIA, IBM and AWS, put in the order that takes you from the basics to building and shipping agents

The companion to the reel. Fifteen free, self-paced AI courses from AWS Skill Builder, IBM (SkillsBuild and Cognitive Class) and the NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute, in five stages: basics, prompts, RAG, agents, ship. About 58 hours in total, and seven of them come with a free badge or certificate (three Credly badges, including AWS Cloud Quest's official AWS badge, and four Cognitive Class certificates). PAGE 1 — the whole order at a glance. PAGES 2–4 — every course: what you learn, length, the free proof quoted from the vendor's own page, the credential, and the link. PAGE 5 — a 4-week plan and which free accounts to create first. PAGE 6 — the catches, the NVIDIA courses that were retired or went paid, and a bonus path. Every fact checked on the vendors' own pages on September 26, 2026. Independent guide from Hyperautomation Labs — not affiliated with NVIDIA, IBM or AWS.
