A certificate of completion records that the named person passed this course's exam on that date. We don't check identity. Product names (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and others) identify the tools taught; Current University is not affiliated with or endorsed by their makers. Lessons are AI-drafted and checked by an automated validator and a separate AI reviewer; a person has not read every lesson. AI can be wrong, and every course teaches you how to check it. Found a mistake? Tell us on the contact page. Tool features change often: each course shows the month its tool facts were last checked.
