Common questions
How much does Natural Language Processing cost?

Does Natural Language Processing come with a certificate?
Yes — Coursera lists a certificate on completion. It is a course certificate, not a formal qualification or university credit.
How long does Natural Language Processing take?

Is Natural Language Processing suitable for beginners?
Yes. Coursera lists it at Beginner level, so no prior experience in the subject is assumed.
