Certificate track · free
Only modules that issue paper you can put on a résumé.
Desk is for the job you already have. Career is for people entering AI work or sharpening a stack. We do not issue certificates. We sequence official ones and write the résumé line.
Sequenced from your last placement: L1. Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals (AI-901) is about $99 — stay on free badges until that line is the next honest step.

The whole sequence is open. Gradūs is free and open source.
We do not promise a job. OpenAI Academy completion certificates are not the formal OpenAI Certification.
