Three free AI courses for people who have never written a line of code, in the order to take them — every link, the exact credential each one gives, the catches, and a 3-week plan

The companion to the reel. Three household names teach AI to complete beginners for $0, with no card and no code, and each one hands you a credential you can put on LinkedIn. ONE — Microsoft and LinkedIn, Career Essentials in Generative AI: five courses, about four hours, the Career Essentials in Generative AI Professional Certificate; free through 2027, and the path is updated on October 1, 2026, so finish it before then. TWO — Cisco, Introduction to Modern AI: 50 video lectures, four hours of video, 'No coding required', pass one exam and the Cisco badge is issued on Credly. THREE — IBM SkillsBuild, Artificial Intelligence Fundamentals: six courses, about ten hours, graded quizzes and a final assessment, a free IBM credential on Credly. PAGE 1 — the three links and how to use the guide. PAGES 2–4 — one page per course: what is inside, how to enroll for free, how the credential is issued, what to skip, and the line to add to your LinkedIn. PAGE 5 — the 3-week plan and the honest catch table. PAGE 6 — what to do after the third badge, and your first move. Facts verified September 13, 2026. Independent guide from Hyperautomation Labs — not affiliated with Microsoft, LinkedIn, Cisco or IBM.
