Course Overview
AI-102: Develop AI solutions in Azure is intended for software developers wanting to build AI infused applications that leverage Azure AI Foundry and other Azure AI services. Topics in this course include developing generative AI apps, building AI agents, and solutions that implement computer vision and information extraction. The course will use C# or Python as the programming language.
You could also consider taking these these Applied Skills to validate practical experience in specific AI workloads. They are subsets of the AI-102 certification. If you only need to focus on one type of AI solution (e.g. Computer Vision) look at taking the relevant Applied Skill credential alongside the certification course. You can take the Applied Skills assessment as a focus area or for prep for the certification:
Who should attend
This course was designed for software engineers concerned with building, managing and deploying AI solutions that leverage Azure AI Foundry and other Azure AI services. They are familiar with C# or Python and have knowledge on using REST-based APIs and SDKs to build generative AI, computer vision, language analysis, and information extraction solutions on Azure.
Course Content
Develop generative AI apps in Azure
Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming more accessible through comprehensive development platforms like Azure AI Foundry. Learn how to build generative AI applications that use language models to chat with your users.
- Plan and prepare to develop AI solutions on Azure
- Choose and deploy models from the model catalog in Azure AI Foundry portal
- Develop an AI app with the Azure AI Foundry SDK
- Get started with prompt flow to develop language model apps in the Azure AI Foundry
- Develop a RAG-based solution with your own data using Azure AI Foundry
- Fine-tune a language model with Azure AI Foundry

Develop AI agents on Azure
Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming more functional and accessible, and AI agents are a key component of this evolution. This learning path will help you understand the AI agents, including when to use them and how to build them, using Azure AI Foundry Agent Service and Semantic Kernel Agent Framework. By the end of this learning path, you will have the skills needed to develop AI agents on Azure.
- Get started with AI agent development on Azure

- Integrate custom tools into your agent
- Develop an AI agent with Semantic Kernel
- Orchestrate a multi-agent solution using Semantic Kernel
Develop natural language solutions in Azure
Natural language solutions use language models to interpret the semantic meaning of written or spoken language, and in some cases respond based on that meaning. You can use the Language service to build language models for your applications, and explore Azure AI Foundry to use generative models for speech.
