I got bumped from business class by @AmericanAir. I asked if it was because they needed the leg room for someone else, and for once, nobody laughed. I’m certainly not laughing. This plus delays #ShitAir

Microsoft just dropped a FREE path to become AI certified

all the training materials, study guides, and practice exams are completely free on Microsoft Learn

you don't need to pay $5,000 for a bootcamp
you don't need a $2,000 udemy bundle
you just need Microsoft Learn and discipline

the certification path has 3 levels:

LEVEL 1: Azure AI Fundamentals (AI-900)

your entry point. no prior knowledge needed. no coding required

what it covers:
- how AI and machine learning work on Azure
- computer vision and NLP basics
- generative AI workloads
- responsible AI principles

prep time: 2-4 weeks
passing score: 700/1000
training: FREE on Microsoft Learn

this cert never expires. once you pass, it's yours forever

IMPORTANT: this exam retires June 30, 2026 and gets replaced by AI-901

if you want the current version, MOVE NOW

LEVEL 2: Azure AI Engineer Associate (AI-102)

this is where it gets real. you're building actual AI solutions

what it covers:
- Azure OpenAI integration
- RAG (retrieval-augmented generation)
- AI agents and agentic solutions
- computer vision and NLP pipelines
- document intelligence
- building with Python or C# SDKs

Microsoft updated this in 2025 to focus on generative AI and agents

(exactly what companies are hiring for right now)

prep time: 1-3 months
passing score: 700/1000
renewal: every 12 months, FREE online
training: FREE on Microsoft Learn

this cert alone qualifies you for Azure AI Engineer roles

ALSO RETIRES JUNE 30, 2026. the window is closing

LEVEL 3: Azure Solutions Architect Expert (AZ-305)

the expert tier. you're not just building AI, you're designing entire cloud architectures

PRIOR KNOWLEDGE: you need Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104) first

what it covers:
- identity and governance solutions
- data storage architecture
- business continuity planning
- full infrastructure design

prep time: 2-4 months
passing score: 700/1000
renewal: annually, FREE online
training: FREE on Microsoft Learn

this isn't AI-specific but it's the cert that gets you into the room where AI architecture decisions happen

median salary for Azure Solutions Architects: $170k+

the full roadmap:

> month 1-2: study and pass AI-900
> month 2-4: study and pass AI-102
> month 4-8: get AZ-104 then AZ-305

total time: 6-8 months
all training materials: $0

DISCLAIMER: "but the exams AREN'T free"

you're right. they cost $99-$165 each

but Microsoft Virtual Training Days give free vouchers for AI-900
students with .edu emails get exams for $0-15
Microsoft Ignite challenges give 50% off

and even full price is UNDER $600 for all 3 levels

no bootcamp needed
no overpriced course needed

3 certs. 6-8 months. and you're certified by the company that powers half the enterprise AI infrastructure on the planet

the June 2026 deadline makes this urgent, AI-900 and AI-102 both retire after that

START TODAY ❤️

Recommendation: at least complete all free materials, and as you will have this knowledge, buy the exams to get certified

if you don't have money to pass them, just get a free knowledge which is confirmed with TOP universities of this world

win-win situation anyway

Linking the Dark Tower’s Odetta Holmes(light side) and Detta walker(Dark Side) and Derry(light side) and the corner of Retta and Neibolt(dark side) of the town of Derry. #WelcomeToDerry #DarkTower

[Dane B @UncWet]

I’m watching IT: Welcome to Derry for the first time, and I’m wondering if the show runners were intending if you take the first letters of the name of the town Derry, and switch it with the street name of Retta that we would get Detta as in Detta Walker of the Dark Tower Series?
