The entire IBM Quantum Learning catalog is now open to the public, no partner account or IBM Quantum Network membership required. The catalog runs past ten courses, from the basics of qubits and circuits through algorithms for factoring and search, up to a course built around running experiments on processors with 100 or more qubits, all hosted free on the IBM Quantum Platform.

The IBM Certified Quantum Computation using Qiskit v2.X Developer - Associate is a single exam built on the same Qiskit SDK and Qiskit Runtime the free courses teach. Since the program launched in 2021, more than 1,300 people across 71 countries have passed it. The exam runs up to $200 depending on location, with an optional $30 practice test through Pearson VUE. The preparation runs $0.
This matters most for programs without a quantum lab or a research grant behind them, which describes most community colleges and a fair number of universities. Qiskit needs Python and a working knowledge of linear algebra. Nothing else.
Every one of my students has a laptop and an internet connection. That's all you need to get started today.
This post rolls into the next edition of Quantum from the Ground Up, due September 1.
