What we verified: Run by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and its nonprofit Foundation with Google.org funding; open for enrollment with no end date stated. Very short course, so it is a starting point rather than a credential employers screen for.

Fees and eligibility can change. Confirm current terms with the issuer before you pay.
