Introduction to AI in Azure (Azure AI Fundamentals) AI-901
CertificationThe recognised entry point into AI on Azure. Core concepts, vision, language, generative AI and responsible AI — with no coding — and a mock assessment for Exam AI-901.
Program Overview
This is the foundational AI credential, and it now runs on Microsoft Foundry rather than a catalogue of separate services — which is the change most people miss. You cover core AI concepts and machine learning foundations, then work through the four workloads that matter in practice: computer vision, natural language processing, speech, and information extraction. A full module goes to generative AI: foundation models, the model catalogue, prompt engineering, grounding and Retrieval-Augmented Generation, and what it actually takes to put a generative AI application or agent into production on Azure. The final module covers the six responsible AI principles applied against a live workload, and closes with a timed mock assessment mapped to Exam AI-901. No coding required. Delivered by a Microsoft Certified Trainer using Microsoft Official Courseware (AI-901T00-A).
