Project
The course project
Optional practice that ends in the kind of job the course prepares you for, with the documents that go with it.
About 10 hours
An AI-assisted explainer series for a spice co-operative: production plan, asset and rights register, AI content rules and episode report
Plan and produce a six-episode short explainer series for a farmers' co-operative, using AI where it helps and honestly where it does not: write the production plan with scripts, shot lists and budget, keep an asset and rights register for every generated or licensed item, set the co-operative's rules for AI content and disclosure, and report on the first episode against its goals. The sample pack shows each document for a cardamom co-operative in Sri Lanka.
Sample document pack, 4 documents, filled in for the scenario
- PlanProduction plan: 'From Plant to Pod' explainer series
- RegisterAsset and rights register: episode 1
- ProcedurePinnacle Hills rules for AI in our videos
- ReportEpisode 1 report: 'Why cardamom needs shade'
Read inside the course and download as a workbook. The project is optional practice, marked when you submit it; the certificate needs only the modules and the final assessment.

FAQ
Common questions
Who is the AI for Content Creators course for?
YouTubers, Instagram creators, small-business owners and freelancers who make videos and images and want to use AI tools well. No design or editing experience is needed.
CapCut is not available in India. Can I still do the course?
Yes. CapCut has been blocked in India since 2020. The editing modules teach the timeline, cutting, captions, sound and rendering, and every step works in free editors such as DaVinci Resolve or Clipchamp; the notes say what to look for. Please do not use unofficial downloads.
Do I need to pay for AI tools?
No. A free chatbot account, Firefly's free credits and a free editor are enough to finish the course and the project. Midjourney and most AI video tools need paid plans; the lessons show what they do so you can decide whether they are worth it for you.
Can I monetise videos made with AI?
Platforms allow AI-assisted content, but they expect originality and honest labelling. The course covers YouTube's altered or synthetic content setting, Meta's AI labels, ASCI disclosure for paid partnerships and India's 2026 IT Rules amendment on labelling synthetic content. It is not legal advice.
Is the AI for Content Creators course really free?
Yes. Every module, the notes, the project and the final assessment. The only paid item is the certificate, if you want it.
What certificate does the AI for Content Creators course give?
An EDWartens Certificate of Completion, issued when you pass the final assessment, with a number anyone can verify on our site. It is not an Adobe, Midjourney or CapCut certification.
How long does the AI for Content Creators course take?
About 6.7 hours of video lessons, notes and practice questions, plus around 10 hours if you do the project. You can work through it at your own pace.
What is the project in the AI for Content Creators course?
You plan and produce a short explainer series for a spice co-operative in Sri Lanka's Knuckles Range: a production plan, an asset and rights register, AI content rules and a report on the first episode. A worked sample pack shows what each document looks like.
Is the AI for Content Creators course free in India, and what does the certificate cost?
Yes. Learning costs ₹0 in India: every module, the written notes, the practice tasks and the final assessment, with no card and no trial period. The only paid item is the optional EDWartens Certificate of Completion, ₹499 including GST for this beginner course, paid in rupees through Razorpay, and only if you want it after passing the final assessment.
