How I Earned the AI-900 and AB-731 Certifications
By: Jason Rivera

In this session, I’ll walk through how I prepared for and passed both the AI-900 (Azure AI Fundamentals) and AB-731 (Microsoft AI Business Leader) certifications, focusing on strategy over memorization.
Rather than teaching exam content, this talk covers:

• What each exam actually tests and how they differ
• How AI-900 helped build a foundation for AB-731
• The study approach and resources I used (MS Learn, practice exams, Udemy, YouTube)
• Common pitfalls and mistakes to avoid
• Who these certifications are really for and who should skip them

If you’re considering AI-900, AB-731, or just want to understand how Microsoft frames AI from both a technical and leadership perspective, this session should help you decide your next move.

Level: Beginner–Intermediate
