Five days on the four published AI-200 domains: containers, vector data on Cosmos DB and PostgreSQL, messaging and eventing, then securing and tracing it. Exam voucher included.
Exam Protection Included
Authorized Training
5 days for Azure developers who own the infrastructure under an AI application: the container image, the vector store, the queue and the traces.
AI-200 tests the plumbing under an AI system rather than the model. Microsoft weights data management services heaviest, which tells you where it thinks these applications break.
Official Microsoft Courseware, plus Training Camp’s own exam prep built on top of it. You get the vendor’s material and our exam-day method.
$165 exam voucher included with your enrollment. No surprise costs, no separate booking.
Practice questions mapped to Microsoft’s 4 domains, instructor-led review of every answer choice, and a readiness check before you sit.
Immersive classroom instruction with direct instructor access, hands-on labs and peer collaboration.
The same instructors and curriculum, delivered live from anywhere on our virtual learning platform.

The $165 AI-200 voucher is part of the price rather than an add-on, so nothing is owed on test day whether you sit it in class or later.
If you do not pass AI-200 on the first attempt, your retake is covered, so a single bad morning does not cost you the certification.
Container Registry, Container Apps, AKS, Cosmos DB, PostgreSQL and Redis provisioned and waiting, so the week is spent building.
Questions tied to each of the four published AI-200 domains rather than a generic Azure pool, so gaps show up well before test day.
Your instructor stays reachable for a full 180 days after class, which is exactly when the AI-200 questions that actually matter turn up.
Microsoft has released no practice assessment for AI-200, so ours is written against the published objectives rather than guessed at.
A structured path designed for working professionals.
Each day builds on the last—momentum is everything.
4 domains, taught in exam weight order, with labs and a readiness review before you sit.
The credential, the capability, and the continued readiness — all in one boot camp.
Real questions from real professionals who passed.
Here's
how we answer them.
Microsoft Certified: Azure AI Cloud Developer Associate, an intermediate-level Microsoft credential. It lands on your Microsoft Learn transcript once you pass, so employers can verify it directly from there.
5 days of live, instructor-led AI-200 training from Official Microsoft Courseware, delivered online or in person. Class runs 9am to 5pm, the labs are hosted so you need only a laptop, and test day is scheduled for Friday.
Yes. Your $165 AI-200 exam voucher is included with your enrollment. Nothing further is owed on test day, and the voucher stays valid if you would rather book the exam later.
Microsoft gives you 120 minutes. Expect between 40 and 60 questions, and a scaled score of 700 out of 1000 to pass. Book it through Pearson VUE, either at a test center or online with a proctor.
Four, weighted as published by Microsoft: Develop containerized solutions on Azure (20-25%); Develop AI solutions by using Azure data management services (25-30%); Connect to and consume Azure services (20-25%); Secure, monitor, troubleshoot Azure solutions (20-25%).
No. AI-200 is generally available and replaced AZ-204 on 31 July 2026. Microsoft’s own free practice assessment is not out yet, and Microsoft notes one usually appears within eight weeks of an exam leaving beta. Our practice material is written in-house from the published skills outline, so it is available to you either way.
Azure developers who have been handed the AI workload: the people responsible for the container image, the vector store, the queue and the traces rather than the model itself.
Microsoft enforces no prerequisite certification. It does assume Python, Azure data management services, Azure messaging and eventing, vector databases, and experience running containerised applications on Azure.
AI-102 retired on 30 June 2026 and AI-103 replaced it. AI-103 is about building apps and agents on Azure AI services and Foundry. AI-200 is about the Azure platform underneath an AI application: containers, Cosmos DB and PostgreSQL vector stores, Redis, Service Bus, Event Grid, Functions, Key Vault and OpenTelemetry. Many teams need both, in that order.
Your retake is covered by our Free Retake Guarantee. You return for the full AI-200 course at no cost and sit the exam again, keeping 180 days of instructor support to work through whatever tripped you up.
Yes. We run private cohorts online or at your site, and can shape the labs around the Azure services your team already runs. Private AI-200 cohorts run to your own schedule, and the agenda can lean toward the parts of the blueprint your team actually uses.
Many of our courses are approved. Eligibility for the AI-200 boot camp depends on the program and your location, so check our military and veterans page or contact us before enrolling.
AI-200 covers the part of an AI system nobody demonstrates: the provisioning, networking, identity and cost control that decide whether a prototype survives contact with production.
Microsoft has released no practice assessment yet, which makes preparation harder than for an established exam. The infrastructure breadth is substantial.
Cloud engineer, AI platform engineer, and DevOps engineers responsible for taking AI workloads from prototype to a service that stays up.
