How we rank AI courses

How are these AI courses ranked?
By what learners rate each course, weighted by how many people rated it, and by how many people took it. A 5.0 from 3 people does not outrank a 4.8 from 50,000. Courses with no ratings rank by reach.
Which AI course should a complete beginner start with?
Pick the Beginner level, then a topic like AI basics or Use AI at work. The top of that list is beginner courses with high ratings from many learners, and many are free to start.
Are there free AI courses?
Yes. Use the Price filter: Free courses cost nothing, and Free to start courses let you audit or try the first part before you pay for a certificate.
Where does the course data come from?
From each platform's own catalogue pages and public course lists: titles, levels, ratings, learner counts, length and price as the platform shows them. Prices can change; the platform's page has the current price.
Can a platform pay to rank higher?
No. The order comes only from ratings and reach. Some links may earn us a commission. Commissions play no part in the order.
