Microsoft / AI development and operations

Operate machine learning and generative AI

Bring Python, machine learning and delivery-pipeline experience. AI-103 is an adjacent role, not a mandatory earlier exam.

Learn the role, one area at a time

Work through the official guide and its learning resources. Use these three study blocks to organize your notes; the official skills outline remains your complete coverage checklist.

  1. 1.Manage reproducible machine learning workflows
  2. 2.Deploy and monitor models
  3. 3.Operationalize and evaluate generative AI solutions

Hands-on consolidation

Put it into practice

Write a release plan for a model with versioned data, evaluation gates, monitoring and rollback. Use a small non-sensitive dataset if implementing it.

Ready to move on when…

You can diagnose a quality regression and reproduce the version that produced it.

Use a dedicated lab and synthetic data, never an employer's production environment. Check licensing and costs before provisioning; budget alerts do not stop spending. Remove resources when finished.

Review & exam planning

Find gaps with our AI-300 test

Try the test, explain each missed answer and return to the corresponding learning topic. Repeat the practical task where needed. A practice score is feedback, not proof of certification readiness.
