Azure AI Cloud Developer Associate Certification -AI 200

Program Overview

This course prepares developers to design, build, and operate cloud-based AI solutions on Azure, spanning the full development lifecycle from planning and architecture through to deployment and optimisation. Participants learn to work with Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, and the broader Azure AI service family to add generative, language, and vision capabilities to cloud applications, while provisioning and securing the underlying resources. The programme covers calling models through the SDK and REST APIs, applying prompt engineering, grounding models in organisational data using retrieval augmented generation and Azure AI Search, and orchestrating multi-step agent workflows. It extends into scaling and operationalising solutions in the cloud, applying DevOps and CI/CD practices, and embedding responsible AI, content safety, monitoring, and cost management so that solutions run reliably and securely at production scale. It suits developers and AI engineers building cloud-native AI solutions on Azure, and is delivered through instructor-led presentation, guided demonstrations, and hands-on labs in a live Azure environment.
