OpenAI Academy
OpenAI Academy is the course library at openai.com/academy. Tracks include writing and workspace agents. You use a ChatGPT account. There is no separate Academy tuition on this site.
Updated 2026-09-27
Open openai.com/academy. Two tracks people hit from search are Writing and workspace agents. Academy is how OpenAI teaches the products. It is not Dev Day, which is a one-day conference, and it is not the residency.
Lessons assume you can open ChatGPT. If the account is in a workspace, an admin may have turned tools off. That looks like a missing course and is actually a policy.
Questions
Is OpenAI Academy free?
The Academy pages are free to open. Some exercises need a ChatGPT plan because they use the product. The course list does not charge a seat fee of its own.
Do I get a degree?
No. It is product training from OpenAI, not an accredited school.
