Google announced a new wave of free artificial intelligence training for Ukrainians. As part of the program, participants will be able to master practical AI skills and receive Google certificates. 20,000 free licenses are allocated for Ukraine.
The Ministry of Economy and Environment of Ukraine, with whose support the initiative is implemented, reported this on November 10 .
Registration for the program "Google Certification in Professional AI Use" will last until December 10, 2026. The training will take place online on the Coursera platform. No technical education, programming experience, or prior knowledge of artificial intelligence is required to participate.
The program consists of eight courses dedicated to applying AI in everyday work, analytics, communications, creative tasks, and building digital solutions. Participants can complete the entire program or choose individual courses according to their needs.
The main novelty of this wave is the course "AI for Application Deployment". It teaches vibecoding - creating applications with text prompts to artificial intelligence without the need to write code manually. The new module takes approximately 4-5 hours to master.
In total, the program includes over 20 practical lessons based on real work tasks. Educational videos up to 10 minutes long are available in English with Ukrainian subtitles, and additional materials and assignments are in Ukrainian.
Completing all eight courses takes approximately 10-15 hours. You can learn at your own pace over two months. A separate certificate is issued for successful completion of each course, and after completing the entire program - a final Google certificate.
To get free access, you need to submit an application by December 10 through the Google registration form. You can also reach it from the official program page.
At the first stage, there is no need to register separately on Coursera. After the application is reviewed, selected participants will receive an email from Coursera and the partner organization with instructions on activating access.
The number of licenses is limited, so submitting an application does not guarantee participation. Organizers will consider the quality of the application and the order of submission. Priority during selection will be given to veterans, military personnel, members of their families, as well as women seeking to develop a career in technology.
Participants from previous waves can also apply to retake the training, master the new vibecoding course, or receive a new final certificate. However, new participants will have priority, and no repeat Google AI Pro bonus is provided for graduates.
In addition, on November 25 at 17:00 Google will hold an open webinar on vibecoding. During the meeting, organizers will explain the training and registration conditions, and graduates of previous waves will share practical experience of using AI. Participation in the webinar is free.
The program in Ukraine is accompanied by partner organizations, including the Ukrainian Veterans Foundation, Veteran Hub, Kyiv School of Economics, EdEra, Beetroot Academy, NGO "Girls", Kharkiv IT Cluster and other educational and public organizations.
