# Can I access Short Course code and resources outside of the platform?

## Learners often want to know how much of the Short Course material they can use outside the DeepLearning.AI platform. Here’s what’s possible:

### API keys

The API keys used within Short Courses are **confidential and are not shared**. If you’d like to run notebooks on your own, you’ll need to use your own API keys.

---

### GitHub repositories

DeepLearning.AI **does not publicly share** its Short Course GitHub repositories.

---

### Running notebooks outside the platform

If you want to download the notebooks and other relevant files from your learning workspace:

1. Open the workspace of the first lab in the Short Course.
2. In the Jupyter notebook, click File → Open… in the top menu.
3. From there, you can view and download all the files.

Along with the notebooks, some courses also provide a requirements.txt file. This lists all the necessary package names and versions, so you can recreate the same environment on your own computer.

This setup allows you to continue **experimenting and practicing outside the platform**, while keeping the Short Course environment consistent and easy to reproduce.
