Your Team Understands AI in Theory.
Can They Build It?

You've invested in Azure AI services, but your engineers are still stitching together Stack Overflow snippets instead of building production-grade AI solutions. The gap between knowing what AI can do and actually building it is costing you time, quality, and competitive advantage.

AI Projects Stuck in Proof of Concept

Your team can demo AI capabilities in a sandbox, but moving from prototype to production is a different challenge entirely. Without structured knowledge of Azure AI services, security patterns, and deployment best practices, promising projects stall before they deliver business value.

Engineers Guessing Instead of Engineering

Azure AI has dozens of services across vision, language, speech, and search. Your developers are spending more time reading documentation than writing code — because they don't know which service to use, how to integrate it, or how to handle it at scale.

No Standard Approach to AI Development

Every developer on your team builds AI features differently. There's no consistent architecture, no shared patterns for error handling or monitoring, and no standardised approach to responsible AI. The result: fragile solutions and mounting technical debt.

Who Is AI-102 Designed For?

AI-102 is built for technical professionals who will design, build, and deploy AI solutions. Familiarity with C# or Python and REST-based APIs is required.

💻

What Your Team Walks Away With

After four days of hands-on engineering with Azure AI services, your team returns to work ready to build — not just plan.

🚀

Ship AI Features Faster

Your engineers will know exactly which Azure AI service to use for each scenario, how to integrate it, and how to deploy it — cutting weeks off development cycles for vision, language, and search features.

🔒

Build Secure AI Architectures

Your team learns production security patterns from day one — managed identities, key management, network isolation, and RBAC for AI services. No more security as an afterthought.

💬

Integrate Generative AI Responsibly

Implement Azure OpenAI Service with proper guardrails — content filtering, prompt engineering best practices, and responsible AI governance that meets enterprise compliance requirements.

🏆

Earn a Microsoft Certification

The Azure AI Engineer Associate certification validates your team's ability to design and implement AI solutions on Azure — a credential recognised by enterprises worldwide.

📋

Standardise Your AI Engineering Practice

Establish consistent patterns across your team for AI development — from service provisioning and error handling to monitoring and responsible AI. Reduce technical debt from day one.

🧪

Learn By Doing — Not Just Watching

Each program includes guided hands-on labs in a live sandbox environment. Your team doesn't just hear about Azure services — they use them, guided by a Microsoft Certified Trainer in real time. Labs remain open for 180 days for sharpening those technical skills.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about AI-102 Azure AI Engineer Associate training with Bespoke.

AI-102 is a 5-day (approximately 40-hour) live instructor-led course. It's delivered by a Microsoft Certified Trainer, so your team can attend virtually from anywhere in Australia, New Zealand, or Singapore — or we can deliver onsite at your office.

AI-102 requires familiarity with C# or Python, experience with REST-based APIs and SDKs, and a working knowledge of Azure fundamentals. AI-900 is recommended as a foundation but not mandatory — if your team already has Azure experience, they can start here.

Certification exam vouchers can be included as part of your team program. We'll discuss the right approach during your discovery call — some teams want everyone to certify immediately, others prefer to focus on building capability first.

AI-900 is a 1-day foundational awareness course with no technical prerequisites — ideal for broad teams. AI-102 is a 5-day hands-on engineering course where your developers write code, build solutions, and deploy AI services. Most organisations start with AI-900 for literacy, then send technical teams to AI-102.

Yes. AI-102 includes a dedicated module on implementing generative AI solutions using Azure OpenAI Service — covering prompt engineering, content generation, and responsible AI practices for production deployments. For deeper generative AI specialisation, teams often continue to AI-3016.

Pricing depends on team size, delivery format (virtual or onsite), and whether you include certification exam vouchers. Every engagement is tailored. Book a free 30-minute discovery call and we'll provide a quote based on your specific requirements — no obligation.

After AI-102, teams typically progress to AI-3016 (Develop Generative AI Apps in Azure AI Foundry) for deeper generative AI engineering skills. We'll help you map the right progression path based on your team's roles and your organisation's AI strategy.

Absolutely — in fact, that's how we deliver. All Bespoke courses are private, team-based sessions. Your trainer tailors code examples and architecture discussions to your industry and tech stack. Minimum team size is 5.

Book a free 30-minute discovery call. We'll discuss your team's current skill level, assess readiness for AI-102, and build a training plan together. No pressure, no hard sell — just practical advice.
