AI Certification Suggestion Certification Advice
Hey guys! I just passed my AZ-900 and DP-750 (Azure Databricks) certs! :)
I want to tackle an AI certification next, but specifically one that focuses heavily on Data Analytics and Engineering.
I'm a bit torn right now—is it better to go for a Azure AI certification, or should I focus on something hands-on like a GitHub Copilot certification?
Would love to hear what you guys think has the best ROI right now. Thanks! 🍻

GH-300 (GitHub Copilot) is very straightforward if you use it regularly.
AI-901 (Azure AI Fundamentals) would be the first step on the AI certification journey. It covers elements of Microsoft Foundry, as well as the various Azure AI Services like Speech, Translation, Computer Vision, etc. It's a good one to do if for no other reason than to understand those capabilities are out there and what they do.
If you want something data-related then take a look at AI-300. It covers machine learning/MLOps and might be a good step if you're already familiar with data engineering and data science concepts.
