Kaggle Learn — free data and AI courses

Kaggle Learn is the free tutorial track on Kaggle, the data science platform owned by Google. Its design principle is short and practical: each course strips a topic down to what you actually need and is meant to be finished in a few hours rather than weeks.

The catalogue runs from Intro to Programming and Python for complete beginners through Pandas, Data Visualization, Intro to SQL, Intro to Machine Learning, Intermediate Machine Learning, Feature Engineering, Deep Learning, Computer Vision, Time Series, Data Cleaning and Intro to AI Ethics.

Lessons pair a short reading with a coding exercise that runs in a Kaggle notebook in your browser. Kaggle supplies the computing power, so you do not need a machine capable of training models locally - this is one of the few places you can do real machine learning work on a modest laptop.

Certificates are issued on completion. Kaggle also publishes community guides and runs intensive short courses on generative AI and AI agents with Google.

For a student aiming at data analyst, machine learning or AI work, this is one of the fastest routes from zero to a working portfolio notebook you can share with employers.
