Azure AI Fundamentals (AI-900)

As I’ve started getting to grips with Large Language Models, code tools such as GitHub co-pilot, and seen some of the really interesting talks about AI in the test community I was keen to understand more about the fundamentals behind AI- the AI-900 course was ideal, and I can strongly recommend it.

Microsoft Certified: Azure AI Fundamentals

This has given me a really useful background in the fundamental concepts of AI and how its practically applied- it covers chat bots, prediction models, large language models etc. so certainly covers a wide range of relevant topics. The hands on ‘sand pit’ exercises were really well designed and give a good insight into how regression, machine learning, training data and other fundamental AI concepts work. At the same time, the course is engaging and pretty short, so I’d recommend anyone with an interest in AI to give it a go.

In terms of the course itself and the exam, it has a thorough self learning path which along with the self practice exam is all you really need, but I can also definitely recommend John Savill’s AI-900 - Azure AI Fundamentals Study Guide as a practical summary.
