Questions people ask before they start
Do I need to already use Gemini or Google Workspace to take this course?
No. The first module, Understanding Gemini, starts from what Gemini is and isn't before moving into its core capabilities, so no prior experience is assumed.
Is this course about prompting tricks, or something deeper?
Both, but grounded. The Prompting Gemini Well lesson covers how to work with the model effectively, while earlier lessons on context window and core capabilities explain why certain prompting approaches work better with Gemini specifically.
Why does account type matter for privacy?
The Security & Privacy with Gemini lesson covers this directly — Gemini's privacy story changes depending on whether you're using a personal account or a Workspace account, and the course walks through that distinction rather than treating privacy as one-size-fits-all.
Will I actually build or do anything, or is this just theory?
The course ends with Hands-On: Your First Real Task, where you apply what you've learned from the Understanding Gemini and Using Gemini Well modules to a real task rather than just reading about concepts.
Is this course about AI safety in general or specifically about Gemini?
It's specifically about Gemini. The curriculum covers what makes Gemini distinct — its context window, Workspace integration, and account-dependent privacy behavior — rather than general AI theory.
Since Securafy is a cybersecurity company, is this course more security training than an AI skills course?
It's an AI skills course with security built in, not a separate add-on. Security & Privacy with Gemini is one lesson within the Using Gemini Well module, sitting alongside prompting and hands-on practice.
