Drive AI transformation in your organization is a free beginner course from Microsoft Learn, online. Microsoft Learn doesn't say whether there is a certificate.
Suits senior leaders planning AI adoption on Microsoft technology who want a certification that shows it. It needs no technical background, and the three self-paced learning paths are free. The main caveat is that the planning content is built around Microsoft technologies such as Copilot and Azure, and the exam is separate. A free alternative from another vendor is Gen AI Agents: Transform Your Organization from Google Cloud.
One-day Microsoft course for the Microsoft Certified: AI Transformation Leader certification. It covers spotting high-impact AI opportunities, aligning AI investment with business goals and championing responsible AI, with no technical expertise required. Aimed at directors, VPs and executives, instructor-led or as three free self-paced learning paths.
