Exam Prep Plan: AWS Certified AI Business Strategist (AIB-C01 - English) is a free-to-learn beginner course from AWS Skill Builder, online. Some parts are paid. It takes about 11 hours.
AWS Skill Builder doesn't say whether there is a certificate.
Suits business professionals who have worked with or alongside teams adopting AI, ideally for six months or more, and are preparing for AIB-C01. The main caveat is that some content needs an AWS Skill Builder subscription and the page shows no price. If the material is new to you, AWS suggests its AWS AI Business Strategist Learning Plan first. A free, shorter primer is Generative AI for Executives from AWS Skill Builder.

Practice assessments hold more than 100 exam-style questions, alongside hands-on labs, videos on each exam domain and task statement, and 65 flashcards. AWS gives the duration as 11 hours 20 minutes.
