WADSIH-Microsoft Upskilling Pathway: Kick-Off Event
Event Information
About this event
We're thrilled to be partnering with Microsoft to bring you a FREE Azure AI Fundamentals course.
This self-guided, gamified course introduces fundamentals concepts related to artificial intelligence (AI), and the services in Microsoft Azure that can be used to create AI solutions.
The course is not designed to teach you to become a data scientist or software developer, but rather to build awareness of common AI workloads and the ability to identify Azure services to support them. This is a fantastic upskilling opportunity for anyone ready to kick off 2022 with a new skill and some professional development!
Upon completion of the course (approx. 9.5hrs of content) you'll have the opportunity to sit the certification exam for FREE. We'll be providing free exam vouchers (valued at almost $140) to everyone who completes the upskilling course modules.
