I did this certificate, it was relatively quick and easy work wise, just watching videos and doing short quizzes besides the final which had 5 short answer questions. It is a pretty basic looking, i could post mine if anyone is interested in viewing it before dedicing whether to complete it.

How long did it take you to finish the cert? Did it take the full 8 weeks to complete? I wonder if you can do a speed run and finish it in 8 days instead of 8 weeks...

It is all available now I think so you could easily finish it in 1-2 days if they don't make you want for the weekly release of the instructional videos. The capstone is a few short essay questions. I had to wait for them to release each week's content on the live date so I couldn't move through any faster than the 8 weeks. I picked up some good info and really liked some of the discussions from industry specific slants so it is worth taking.

Awesome, I'll start tomorrow and see if I can finish it by Sunday, that's 5 days just in case for my speed run...

Honestly, if you sat for like 2 hours you could probably finish it, if you watch the videos in 2x speed. If you are knowledgeable on the topic you can just skip through the videos and answer the quiz questions, could be an hour long cert.

Well on the homepage it says that the whole certificate will take about 10 hours / 1.0 CEU. So a speedrun should be possible. I'll give it a try too!
RE: (Free) University of North Florida – AI in Work and Life Certificate - CollegeStudentAC - 11-25-2025
Yeah, I'd imagine it takes between 45-90 minutes.
RE: (Free) University of North Florida – AI in Work and Life Certificate - bjcheung77 - 11-25-2025
Time to give it a shot later on today instead of starting tomorrow, probably will finish it later...
RE: (Free) University of North Florida – AI in Work and Life Certificate - CollegeStudentAC - 11-27-2025
I finished it. The capstone is optional.
