Description of the AI-901 Training Course
This AI-901 training course offers an in-depth introduction to the artificial-intelligence capabilities available on the Microsoft Azure platform. Aimed at developers and technology professionals, it helps you understand the main AI concepts and discover how to implement them concretely using Azure services. During this intensive day, you will explore the fundamentals of generative AI and intelligent agents, natural language processing, speech recognition, computer vision and AI-powered information extraction. Each theoretical concept is immediately put into practice through the dedicated Azure tools and services. The programme covers both the conceptual dimension and hands-on technical work: you will work directly with Azure AI services to analyse text, recognise speech, process images and extract structured data from documents. Demonstrations and practical exercises accompany each module. This course is an ideal springboard for developers who want to integrate AI into their applications and prepare for Microsoft certifications in Azure artificial intelligence.
Format and Teaching Methods
Remote (recorded sessions). This course can also be delivered on your premises. Content can be customised to your professional project’s needs. The programme alternates theory with extensive hands-on practice (around 60%) using concrete business use cases.
Good to Know Before Registering
Our sessions are guaranteed from just 1 registrant, with no risk of postponement (except in cases of force majeure). A preliminary interview is held with the participant and/or a company representative to identify the participant’s profile: level, needs, context and challenges. Assessment: the trainer monitors progress through multiple-choice questions, role-play and hands-on work. Participants receive a certificate of validated skills at the end of the training.
Learning Objectives of the AI-901 Training Course
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
- Understand the fundamental concepts of artificial intelligence and identify the main AI application scenarios in the professional world.
- Grasp the principles of generative AI and intelligent agents, and know how to leverage them via Azure services.
- Master the basics of natural language processing (NLP) and implement text analysis with Azure cognitive services.
- Use Azure speech-recognition capabilities to convert speech to text and vice versa.
- Explore computer vision and its applications through Azure Computer Vision services.
- Implement information extraction from documents using dedicated Azure AI tools.
Prerequisites for the AI-901 Training Course
Familiarity with Python syntax and basic programming techniques is recommended. Knowledge of core cloud concepts (storage, compute, authentication) is an additional advantage.
Because each participant is unique, a personalised interview is held in advance with our expert to design a course perfectly aligned with their objectives, level and professional challenges.
