Gemini: Intro

An absolute-baseline introduction to Google Gemini for first-time users. Learners see what Gemini is, how to open it (including inside Google Workspace), and how to send their first prompt. It gets total beginners started in minutes. About 30 minutes including the final.

What this course covers

The course runs across 3 topics, each one a short adaptive session rather than a recorded lecture. The tutor explains the idea, works an example, checks understanding, and adjusts the next step to the answer given.

  • Opening Gemini and Navigating the Interface — Learn how to access Google Gemini via the web and within Google Workspace apps, and explore the basic layout of the interface.
  • Writing and Sending Your First Prompt — Understand the anatomy of a basic prompt and practice entering, submitting, and reading your very first AI-generated response.
  • Refining and Iterating on AI Responses — Practice hands-on techniques to modify your initial prompt, ask follow-up questions, and guide Gemini to get the exact output you need.

Skills you build

Results are measured against named skills in the OneRange taxonomy of more than 10,000 skills, so a manager sees proficiency per skill rather than a completion tick.

Who it is for

All employees / new Gemini users. The material is pitched at beginner level, and takes roughly 30 minutes at a typical pace. Because every session adapts, someone who already knows a topic moves through it quickly instead of sitting through an explanation they do not need.

It sits in the Tool: Gemini track of the Vero AI Catalog, and can be assigned to one person, a team, or the whole company.

How it is delivered and assessed

Delivery is conversational and interactive, including guided lab exercises. There is no video to sit through and no slide deck to click past.

Understanding is checked with a lab assessment of 5 items, with a pass mark of 70%.

Administrators can copy this course into their own library and adapt it — edit the outline, change the duration, swap the assessment format, or ground it in internal documentation so answers cite the company's own source material.

  • Gemini for Developers: Essentials — Refactoring & Migration Playbook — A focused playbook for safe refactoring and migration with Gemini. Learners pin down what legacy code must keep doing, rename and extract functions in small behaviour-preserving steps, then move off deprecated Python date helpers without breaking the nightly job. They leave with a step-by-step refactor plan and the habit of checking what the tests do not cover. About 45 minutes including the final.
  • Gemini: Essentials — Everyday Work — This course applies Gemini to everyday knowledge work: email, documents, meeting prep, and quick research. Learners practice each workflow directly in Gemini and leave with daily habits, not just features.

  • Gemini for Developers: Essentials — Testing Playbook — A focused playbook for testing with Gemini. Learners use the Gemini app to write unit and edge-case tests for untested code, diagnose a failing test and a flaky one, and prove that a test really guards the behaviour instead of just passing. They leave with a repeatable prompt pattern for tests they can trust. About 45 minutes including the final.
  • Gemini for Everyone Pathway — Complete fluency in Gemini and Workspace AI. Also includes 4 optional playbooks (Everyday Work, Research, Data & Analysis, Coding) to take any time after Essentials; they don't count toward the certificate.
