Architect AI solutions for business productivity is a free advanced course from Microsoft Learn, online. It takes about 11 hours. Microsoft Learn doesn't say whether there is a certificate.
Suits solution architects who want a free, self-paced route to the AB-100 exam. Modules cover AI strategy with the Cloud Adoption Framework, return on investment, build-or-buy choices and agent design in Dynamics 365 and Copilot Studio. The main caveat is that Microsoft rates it advanced and assumes you know its business tools and process analysis; the exam is separate. For instructor-led depth, the three-day course Architecting agentic AI business solutions (AB-100T00) builds on this path.
Free self-paced Microsoft Learn path of 11 modules (11 hours 24 minutes) that prepares for Exam AB-100: Agentic AI Business Solutions Architect. It covers aligning AI with business goals, analysing requirements, enterprise AI strategy, costs and return on investment, and designing agents with Dynamics 365 and Copilot Studio.
