Written by Damien Griffin | Dec 28, 2024 5:00:00 PM

Now, if you know anything about IT certifications, you know that Microsoft is not going to stop at just one.  

They have an intermediate-level certification - AI-102: Designing and Implementing a Microsoft Azure AI Solution.  

This one is for engineers who have experience in - 

  • Developing solutions that use languages such as Python and C#
  • Using REST APIs and SDKs to build solutions on Azure 
    • I.e., secure image processing, video processing, natural language processing, knowledge mining, and generative AI solutions
  • Applying responsible AI principles
  • Building complete and secure end-to-end AI solutions
  • Integrating AI capabilities in other applications and solutions

It’s definitely a step up from their beginner-level AI cert.

They do offer training for this cert, and you have a couple of options -

  1. If you prefer instructor-led training, you can look for the exam number with your preferred training provider.
  2. If you prefer self-directed learning, they offer an online course that you can start right now
