Learn Python from zero with a focus on AI and data science. Master the language essentials, then use ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini as coding tutors while you build real projects with NumPy, pandas, matplotlib, and scikit-learn. Perfect for university students and early-career learners. No prior coding required, and you earn a free certificate to add to your LinkedIn and resume.
This free Python for AI and data science course is built for complete beginners, including university students, self-learners, and anyone who wants to apply AI tools in their studies or early career. You start from zero, covering Python essentials and environment setup, then immediately put the language to work with real data tasks. No prior coding experience is required.
What sets this course apart is the focus on learning Python alongside AI coding assistants. You practice writing and debugging code with ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, building the habit of using AI as a hands-on tutor rather than just a search engine. From there, the course moves into the core data science stack: NumPy for numerical computing, pandas for wrangling datasets, and matplotlib and seaborn for creating visualizations.
The final module ties everything together. You build a mini data analysis project from scratch, get an introduction to machine learning with scikit-learn, and learn how to call AI APIs from Python directly. The course closes with a look at where Python can take you next in AI and data work. Finishing the course and passing the final exam earns you a free certificate of completion you can add to your LinkedIn profile or resume.

The course covers Python fundamentals, hands-on practice with AI coding assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini), core data science libraries (NumPy, pandas, matplotlib, seaborn), a mini data analysis project, an introduction to scikit-learn for machine learning, and how to call AI APIs from your own Python code.
Yes, the entire course is free to take on FreeAcademy.ai. You can complete every lesson and the final exam at no cost, and finishing earns you a free certificate of completion.
No prior coding experience is needed. The course begins with Python environment setup and language essentials, then builds progressively toward data science and AI topics so complete beginners can follow along.
You will work with Python, NumPy, pandas, matplotlib, seaborn, and scikit-learn, as well as the AI assistants ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini for coding support. The final module also covers calling AI APIs (such as the OpenAI and Anthropic APIs) directly from Python.
Yes. Completing all lessons and passing the final exam earns you a certificate of completion that you can add to your LinkedIn profile or resume to show your Python and data science skills.
Level up from Python basics to writing powerful, real-world Python for data, AI, and automation. Master classes and dataclasses, comprehensions and generators, decorators, context managers, robust error handling, type hints, packaging, working with files and APIs, and a practical intro to async. Hands-on examples and a free certificate of completion.
Already know basic Python? Build one real thing end to end: a small AI data app that loads a dataset, sends a slice of it to a language model, and turns the response into a written analysis. You will use pandas only as much as the app needs, call an LLM API directly (no agents, no frameworks), wire the pieces into a single script with real error handling, and ship it as a shareable Streamlit app you can run locally. A project-based intermediate course with a free certificate of completion.
Understand machine learning from the ground up — without writing a single line of code. Use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google's Teachable Machine to build, test, and explain ML models. Built for university students and early-career learners with zero technical background. Earn a free certificate to add to your LinkedIn and resume.
Learn how to use AI tools to transform your work as a data analyst. Discover practical techniques for SQL generation, data cleaning, building dashboards, and communicating insights. No extra coding required.
Master Claude's Projects and Artifacts features with hands-on walkthroughs. Learn to set up organized workflows with custom instructions and knowledge files, create interactive artifacts for code, documents, and diagrams, understand the context window, and compare Projects with ChatGPT Custom GPTs.
Use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and Gamma to build investor pitch decks, board readouts, and sales decks that close. Learn narrative arcs, slide-by-slide AI prompting, AI-generated visuals, brand-consistent design, speaker notes, and Q&A prep — with full case studies. Built for founders, consultants, sales leaders, PMs, MBAs, and job-seekers in the US and UK. No design or coding skills required.
