Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals (AI-900) Certification
Training & certification in the United States.
Microsoft Certified: Azure AI Fundamentals (AI-900) is Microsoft's entry-level artificial intelligence certification designed for professionals who want to understand AI concepts, machine learning, generative AI, and Azure AI services without requiring programming experience.
The AI-900 certification introduces learners to modern AI workloads, responsible AI principles, computer vision, natural language processing (NLP), conversational AI, document intelligence, and Microsoft Azure AI services.
AI-900 is the cert most often dismissed as 'too easy'. It is also the cert that produces the highest unblocking effect on every AI project conversation in your first six months.
Whether you are an IT professional, business analyst, project manager, student, or decision-maker, AI-900 provides a strong foundation before progressing to role-based Microsoft AI certifications.

Why our pass rate is 98%
Industry average: ~78%
Most candidates revise definitions but never open the Azure AI portals. The exam asks them which service does X and they pick by elimination, getting it wrong.
Nexperts: 98%
Every concept is pinned to a real screen, button or policy. You don't memorise definitions — you recall the UI.
Your Microsoft AI Path
AI-900 is the runway to the AI track.
AI-900 is the foundation. From here, hands-on candidates take AI-102 (Azure AI Engineer); data candidates pick DP-100 (Data Scientist); platform candidates take MS-103 (AI / agent track).
