Microsoft AI & ML Engineering Professional Certificate is a paid intermediate course from Microsoft, online. It's a paid subscription; the price is not recorded yet.
It ends with a professional certificate.
Suits Python programmers who know the basics of AI and want an engineering route built on Microsoft Azure. The main caveat is time and setup: Coursera estimates 6 months at 7 hours a week, no subscription price is shown, and you need an Azure licence or a free trial, which may expire before you finish. The page still offers 50% off exam AI-102, so check that exam's status with Microsoft first. A free alternative is Develop AI apps and agents on Azure from Microsoft Learn.
Microsoft's five-course Professional Certificate on Coursera for Python programmers. It covers AI and machine learning infrastructure, supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning, deep learning, building troubleshooting agents with NLP, and running the machine learning lifecycle on Microsoft Azure, ending with a capstone project.
