Our take

Based on the ratings of 56,413 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in December 2025. No course pays to be reviewed.

Intro to ChatGPT and Generative AI is exactly what the title says: a short, beginner-level walkthrough of prompting, ChatGPT's mechanics, custom GPTs, and basic AI ethics, taught by the 365 Careers team. At 2.3 hours across 50 lectures, it is not a deep dive. The audience list is blunt about who it's for: students and working professionals who want to get more productive with ChatGPT, with no prior knowledge required. Sections on file handling, custom GPTs, and even a brief look at autonomous agents round it out.

Reviewers mostly like it. Beginners call it intuitive and well explained, and one reviewer mentions finishing with a concrete new trick, like merging PDFs through a prompt. One retired software engineer said it helped him keep up with the field. The complaints cluster around two things: one reviewer found parts of the content already dated given how fast AI moves, and another called the pacing childish, with over-explained prompt phrasing. A separate reviewer flagged video playback glitches during lessons.

For a 4.5-star course with over 56,000 ratings, the track record is solid, and 365 Careers has a name for producing clear, well-organized business and data courses. Given the short runtime and no coding exercises or projects, treat this as an orientation, not a skills course. Good pick if all you want is to stop feeling behind on ChatGPT; skip it if you're already comfortable and want hands-on API work.

Best forComplete beginners who want a quick, practical grounding in ChatGPT for work tasks.
Skip it ifYou already use ChatGPT daily and want advanced API or agent workflows.

Pros

  • Short and beginner-friendly at 2.3 hours, no prior knowledge required
  • Covers practical basics: prompting, custom GPTs, file handling, AI ethics
  • Reviewers highlight clear explanations and a hands-on assignment
  • Updated December 2025 with a large, mostly positive review base

Cons

  • One reviewer says parts of the content lag behind how fast AI is moving
  • No coding exercises or projects, just lectures and a handful of quizzes
  • One reviewer reported video playback glitches
Starting a zero knowledge, this course was very intuitive and so very helpful.
Thomas Snyder, a student

Built for true beginners with zero AI background; not for anyone already fluent in prompting.

By Andras Kato on 5/15/2026

Childish approach with unnecessary stretching, intro, splits... For example why require the program name to be repeated excessively and prompts to be phased as if speaking to a person?

By Arun Kulkarni on 5/6/2026

I truly appreciate the effort put into designing and delivering such a comprehensive program. Thank you once again for this enriching experience.

By Luis Puga on 4/29/2026

All good but at the end was difficult to close the activities because the site was blocked by the administrator. Because new rules about ChatGPT.

By Jay FJ Liu on 4/28/2026

I've learnt a lot of useful knowledge of chatgpt, and hints for how to make it a better tool that generates more accurate and complete answers. It will help me with using AI tools more effectively in the future

By Fernando Pichardo on 4/27/2026

Porque considero que todo lo que se ha visto hasta el momento, es de mucha utilidad y que debemos abordar la IA dentro de nuestro trabajo diario, lo cual nos llevaría a tener un mayor control y gestión de las tareas. Ahora, los ejemplos que hemos revisado muy buenos y muy prácticos a la hora de explicar.

By Bhavani Kanuganti on 4/7/2026

This course helped me in doing a hands-on project step by step and learnt many things like creating a project name and attaching images and drafting an email along with creating a summary report. It was very useful information.

By Jane Kang on 4/3/2026

I really enjoyed this course! It was a great intro and helped me realize ChatGPT can do so much more than I originally thought. I learned about GPTs, effective prompts, and features like working with Canvas directly within the app. It was all very useful and expanded my perspective!
