The program is available to all AI enthusiasts in India, regardless of their experience or background. It involves two levels that participants need to finish by January 31, 2024.
The first level teaches people how to use Azure AI services to create and implement AI solutions for different situations. It provides useful resources and examples to help master practical AI skills.
The second level requires participants to prove their AI skills through an online assessment with interactive lab tasks. Those who succeed will receive Microsoft Applied Skills credentials, which prove their ability to solve real-world problems using AI.
Participants who complete both levels can win a VIP Pass to the Microsoft AI Tour in Bangalore on February 8, 2024. The event will demonstrate the impact of generative AI on creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving, with keynote sessions, demos, and workshops to learn from Microsoft experts and partners.
Irina Ghose, managing director at Microsoft India, emphasised, “AI is the future of innovation and India is leading the way with its tech talent. The Microsoft Applied Skills credential will help developers demonstrate their competence and creativity in the most in-demand AI skills and scenarios. We welcome all developers to join us in creating meaningful AI solutions that will contribute to India’s economy.”
