Microsoft Certified: Azure AI Apps and Agents Developer Associate is a paid intermediate course from Microsoft, online or in person. It ends with an exam certification.
Microsoft doesn't say the price or how long it takes.
Suits developers with Python experience who build AI apps or agents on Azure and want a recognised Microsoft credential. What stands out is the coverage of agentic solutions on Microsoft Foundry alongside computer vision, text analysis and information extraction. The main caveat is that the exam fee depends on the country where it is proctored and is not shown on the page. Preparation can start with the AI-103 study guide and exam sandbox linked from the page.
Microsoft's intermediate certification for AI engineers who build agents and AI solutions on Microsoft Foundry with Python. The proctored 120-minute exam, AI-103, covers planning Azure AI solutions, generative AI and agentic solutions, computer vision, text analysis and information extraction. The older Azure AI Engineer Associate (AI-102) is retired.
