This course will introduce you to the essentials of cloud-scale AI and machine learning services in Azure, setting a solid foundation for the Microsoft AI-900 certification exam.
Traditionally, the Microsoft AI-900 training is offered as a 1-day classroom course. But in response to the challenges posed by the Covid pandemic, I began to create video lectures covering the curriculum of the AI-900 training. This effort has evolved into this online course that stands as a comprehensive alternative to the in-person classroom training experience.
The course covers all the topics you would encounter in the classroom. You will learn about machine learning, regression, classification, clustering, computer vision, natural language processing and conversational AI chatbots. You'll also learn how Azure cloud services support machine learning workloads, and how you can easily get started with the prebuilt neural networks hosted in the Azure Cognitive Services.
As you progress through the training material, you will explore AI services, provision and deploy computer vision and language services, and run Python applications that execute machine learning workloads in the cloud. The lab assignments are designed to teach you hands-on skills directly applicable to real-world scenarios.
In addition to the course content and labs, this course includes 40 practice questions specifically designed to prepare you for the AI-900 exam. These questions have been carefully designed to mimic the format of the actual exam, ensuring you have the opportunity to test your knowledge and identify areas for further study.
The training covers the following topics:
What is AI
The history of AI
AI in Microsoft Azure
Bias in AI
Risks with AI
Principles of responsible AI
Machine Learning
Anomaly Detection
Regression
Classification
The Confusion Matrix
Clustering
Azure Machine Learning
Automated Machine Learning

Natural Language Processing
Text analytics
Speech Recognition and Synthesis
Machine translation
Language Understanding
Responsible conversational bots
Check out this training lesson preview in which I demonstrate a small C# application that uses the Azure Cognitive Services to automatically caption images and detect and recognize faces in the image.
The video covers the Cognitive Services, the Face service and the Computer Vision service.

In an online training you can study the training lectures and work on the homework assignments in your own time and at your own pace. You can spend as many or as little hours per week as you want on the training.
You will receive prerecorded online video lectures, text lectures, multiple-choice quizzes and homework exercises.
You are supported through email, and you can also book a 30-minute video support call with me if you want. I will help you with the training lectures and homework projects and get you ready for your certification exams.
An online training is ideal for tech professionals who want to set their own learning pace and prefer to work independently with a bit of guidance and support throughout the training.
I host all my training content on Podia, a well-known e-learning platform based in the United States.
You have unlimited access to the online training content and your login account will never expire.
Yes! I often host classroom trainings where I teach tech subjects to an entire business team. Contact me and we'll get it organised.
