Frequently asked questions

This Coursera version includes interactive features not available in our standalone content, including Coursera Coach, which is an AI-powered learning assistant that can answer your questions, break down complex concepts, and provide personalized guidance as you learn. You'll also have access to additional practice quizzes, assessments, and AI-powered dialogues that help reinforce key concepts and let you test your understanding before moving forward. These enhancements transform the passive video experience into an interactive learning journey with real-time support and feedback.

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
