The Complete ChatGPT Guide: Learn Midjourney, ChatGPT & More

Julian Melanson and Benza Maman's bestselling Udemy course (now retitled 'The Complete AI Guide: Learn ChatGPT, Generative AI & More', originally 'ChatGPT Complete Guide: Learn Midjourney, ChatGPT 4 & More') is a broad, beginner-friendly tour of 50+ generative-AI tools that earns a strong take for non-technical creators, marketers, and entrepreneurs who want practical productivity wins rather than ML theory. It holds a 4.5/5 rating across roughly 61,000 reviews with 300,000+ learners, and is one of the most-enrolled ChatGPT courses on Udemy. The headline value is the prompt-engineering depth (a dedicated module plus a 17-page prompting-guide PDF) and the hands-on, copy-the-workflow style across ChatGPT, Midjourney, DALL-E, and dozens of voice/video/image/automation tools. Its honest weakness is the breadth-over-depth tradeoff: most individual tools get only a surface-level walkthrough, and because the course chases new tools, specific lessons can drift out of date as platforms change. It is a poor fit for engineers or anyone wanting to build with the OpenAI API, fine-tuning, or RAG, who should pick a technical course instead.

For its actual audience (non-technical creators, marketers, freelancers, and curious professionals), it reliably delivers: a 4.5/5 average from ~61,000 reviews, Bestseller status, 300K+ learners, a genuinely strong prompt-engineering module, and a deep catalog of practical tool walkthroughs at a typical sale price under $15. The breadth-over-depth nature is a real limitation, not a dealbreaker, for this audience.

Best for: Non-technical beginners who want to become fluent and fast with everyday AI tools: content creators, marketers, freelancers, solopreneurs, students, teachers, and office professionals who want to write, ideate, automate small tasks, generate images/voice/video, and improve productivity with ChatGPT and adjacent tools. Best for people who value a guided, hands-on path over piecing together free YouTube tutorials, and who want one course covering many tools at a beginner level.

Skip if: Software engineers, data scientists, or anyone who wants to BUILD with AI (OpenAI/LLM APIs, fine-tuning, embeddings, RAG, agents, or production systems) will find this too shallow and consumer-focused. Also a weak fit for learners who already use ChatGPT daily (much will feel basic), for those wanting deep mastery of a single tool like Midjourney (each tool is only introduced, not mastered), and for people who want academic/ML foundations rather than tool tutorials.
