“I found it refreshing to go deeper than hearing ‘GenAI will change your business,’ and ‘You need to test use cases before building a scalable framework.’ GA actually covered the HOW and the WHY.”

“This course was extremely valuable. The GA team actually talked through how things work, which has been missing from almost all GenAI training I’ve seen. They did a great job of finding a middle ground between technical knowledge and functional knowledge, and explained concepts in detail before getting into hands-on labs.”
