Questions
- Are the courses really free?
- Yes. The Google, Coursera and partner courses on our path are free to take, and FOUND charges nothing to guide you through them.
- Which platforms are included?
- The path draws from Google's learning platforms (Skillshop, Cloud Skills Boost, Developer Pathways, Applied Digital Skills, Grow with Google), 99 free Coursera courses, and introductory certifications from our global certification partners. New platforms are added as partnerships grow.
- Which Grow with Google site applies to my country?
- Grow with Google routes by region. Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and South Africa are served by the Sub-Saharan Africa hub (grow.google/intl/ssa-en/), while Egypt is served by the MENA hub (grow.google/intl/mena-en/, also available in Arabic). FOUND links you to the right one automatically based on the country on your profile.
- Do I need prior experience?
- No. The path starts from the fundamentals and builds up to AI and applied digital skills.
