Frequently asked questions

To be successful in this course, you should have intermediate programming knowledge of Python, plus experience with AI & ML infrastructure, core AI & ML algorithms and techniques, the design and implementation of intelligent troubleshooting agents, and Microsoft Azure’s AI & ML services. Familiarity with statistics is also recommended.

You will need a license to Microsoft Azure (or a free trial version) and appropriate hardware. Note: the free trial version of Azure is time limited and may expire before completion of the program.

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Certificate, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
