AI-900: Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals
About this course
AI-900 is Microsoft's entry-level AI certification, and this is the official, free Microsoft Learn training path covering exactly what the exam tests: core machine learning concepts, Azure's computer vision and natural language processing services, conversational AI, and generative AI fundamentals through Azure OpenAI Service. It's structured as self-paced modules with hands-on Azure portal exercises.
Like Microsoft's other official Learn paths in this catalog (AZ-900, DP-900, SC-900), this content is maintained directly by Microsoft and stays current with exam changes automatically. AI-900 is increasingly relevant as Azure becomes a major platform for deploying generative AI applications, making this a practical entry point for IT professionals and developers moving into AI-adjacent roles without requiring a deep ML background.
