AI-901: Azure AI Fundamentals Course

What you'll walk away with

Built for people who are new to AI, not new to computers

We start with what AI actually is and how it's different from regular software, no ML background assumed.

AI-901 is genuinely front-loaded: Microsoft Foundry implementation is 55–60% of the exam, so that's where most of this course lives.
