Why It Matters
Artificial intelligence is no longer a niche skill—it’s becoming a core part of how work gets done across industries. AI Fundamentals helps you understand not just what AI is, but how it’s used, giving you the ability to contribute in environments where these tools are already shaping decision-making and operations.
At Tech901, we focus on building practical technology skills that translate into career opportunity. AI Fundamentals is designed to help you take that next step.
COURSE SUMMARY
AI Fundamentals is a 4-week, instructor-led course designed to introduce core concepts in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, with a focus on how these technologies are applied in real-world environments using Microsoft Azure AI services.
This course is not intended to train professional data scientists or software developers. Instead, it builds practical awareness of common AI workloads—such as computer vision, natural language processing, and predictive analytics—and helps students understand how to identify and use the right Azure tools to support them.
Through a blended learning approach, students participate in live instruction alongside guided modules from the Microsoft Learn platform. Hands-on exercises reinforce key concepts, giving students the opportunity to work directly with data, explore AI services, and build confidence navigating cloud-based tools.
This course aligns with preparation for the Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals (AI-901) certification, providing a recognized credential that demonstrates foundational knowledge of AI concepts and their application in today’s workforce.
Who This Course Is For
AI Fundamentals is designed for students who already have a baseline technical foundation and are ready to expand their skillset into AI.
If you’ve completed Code 1.0 or Web Programming, or earned certifications like Network+, Security+, Data+, or Microsoft Power BI, you likely have the background needed to be successful in this course.
A basic understanding of computer systems, data, and problem-solving is expected. Familiarity with programming concepts is helpful, but not required.
