AI-900: Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals
A live introduction to artificial intelligence concepts and the Azure AI services that bring them to life. Built for people who want to do the job with confidence, not just pass a test.
Microsoft retired the AI-900 exam on 30 June 2026. The certification can no longer be earned, so nobody can sit this exam again. The course still runs live as a skills course, and you can reserve a seat on it. The current certification covering this ground is AI-901, so ask us first and we will tell you whether to target that instead.

What happened to the AI-900 exam
Microsoft retired AI-900 on 30 June 2026, so it can no longer be booked or sat and the certification cannot be earned. Everything the exam covered is still real work, which is why the course still runs. You reserve a seat, you train live with a trainer in the same small batch, and you leave able to do the job. Tell us your goal when you enquire and we will point you at the certification that covers this ground today.
Where this can take you
Common questions
Can I still sit the AI-900 exam?
No. Microsoft retired it on 30 June 2026, so it can no longer be booked and the certification cannot be earned. The course still runs live as a skills course and you can reserve a seat on it. The current certification covering this ground is AI-901, so ask us whether to target that instead.
Is this live or recorded?
Every session is live and instructor-led over Microsoft Teams. There are no pre-recorded videos. You learn with a real trainer and a small group.
When does the next batch start?
Batches form on a rolling basis. Send an enquiry and we will reply with the next available start date and times that fit your schedule.
How are session times decided?
Once you enquire, we set up a short Microsoft Teams call to agree the days and times that work for the batch.
Do you include hands-on labs?
Yes. You practise in a real environment throughout the AI-900 course, so the exam tasks feel routine by the time you sit it.
Ready to join the next AI-900 batch?
The exam has retired, the skills have not. Send an enquiry and we will confirm the next live start date, then set a time together over Teams.
