Coursera<\/a>, Inc. (NYSE: COUR), a global online learning platform, announced an expanded portfolio of AI courses to mark AI Appreciation Day. The new offerings include updated Professional Certificates, courses, and Specializations focused on Generative AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this launch, Coursera\u2019s GenAI catalog now features over 925 AI courses. These are designed to equip learners worldwide with essential skills in artificial intelligence<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coursera reported that the growing demand for AI skills comes amid rapid industry transformation. According to the platform, 46% of job skills are expected to change by 2030 in the MENA region, compared to 39% globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The total enrollments to date (all-time enrollments) have surpassed 500,000, with one new enrollment every two minutes in 2025 across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). This includes over 100,000 learners each from the UAE and Saudi Arabia. On average, one enrollment takes place every two minutes across the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the release of ChatGPT, learners in MENA have spent close to half a million hours studying GenAI on Coursera, which equals over 53 years of learning time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Coursera revealed that 80% of these enrollments are at the beginner level. Millennials account for 60% of the enrollments, followed by Gen X at 21%, Gen Z at 18%, and Boomers at 1%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coursera also noted that only 25% of GenAI course enrollments in MENA are from women. This reflects the need for inclusive learning strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The platform has introduced several AI-powered tools to enhance online learning. Coursera Coach, an AI tutor using large language models (LLMs), assists learners with questions, summaries, and feedback. Data from Coursera shows that learners using the tool are 9.5% more likely to pass quizzes on the first try. They also complete 11.6% more course content per hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In MENA, 175,000 learners have used Coursera Coach, exchanging nearly 240,000 messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To support multilingual learners, Coursera has translated more than 5,500 courses and 65 Professional Certificates into 26 languages, including Arabic and French. This effort has attracted over 120,000 learners in MENA and generated 400,000 enrollments. Learners in Saudi Arabia rank among the top three globally for engaging with translated AI content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To support learners further, Coursera announced the launch of new AI-focused certificates:
\u2022 Seven Professional Certificates from partners such as AWS, Microsoft, Google Cloud, IBM, and Snowflake
\u2022 Two certificates from AWS<\/p>\n\n\n\n
