AI Certification Requirements Index: Every AI Exam Compared

Every AI certification exam we track, in one table: what it costs, how long the exam is, the passing score, how long the certification lasts, and whether it is still current. Each row was checked against the vendor’s own pages and carries the date we checked it, with a link to the source.

Use the vendor menu to narrow the list, and click an exam to open our guide for it. Retired exams stay in the table, marked as retired, because people still search for them and need to know what replaced them.

How we check these facts

• Vendor pages only. Every cost, length and passing score comes from the certifying company’s own site: AWS, Microsoft Learn, Google Cloud, Anthropic’s Partner Academy, NVIDIA and so on. Never from training sites, forums or other blogs.
• Dated and linked. The “Checked” column links to the page we read and shows the day we read it.
• Watched for changes. We re-check vendor pages for new exams, price changes and retirements, and log every change that matters on AI Cert Watch.
• “Not published” means exactly that. Some vendors don’t publish a question count, an exam length or a validity period. We leave the gap rather than guess.

What the table doesn’t show

Prices are US list prices before tax and discounts. Microsoft and some others price exams by country, and many vendors offer discounts for students, partners or people renewing. The exam fee is also only part of the real cost: retakes and renewals add up.

Frequently asked questions

Where do the prices and exam details come from?

From each certifying company's own pages, such as AWS, Microsoft Learn, Google Cloud and Anthropic's Partner Academy. Every row links to the page we checked and shows the date we checked it.

How often is this AI certification index updated?

We re-check vendor pages for changes and update a row whenever a price, exam length, status or rule changes. Each row shows its own last-checked date.

Do the prices include tax or discounts?

No. They are US list prices before tax, partner discounts, student pricing or vouchers. Microsoft and several other vendors set prices by country, so your local price may differ.

Why does a cell say “Not published”?

Because the vendor doesn't publish that detail. Microsoft, for example, doesn't publish question counts. We leave the gap rather than guess.

Why are retired exams still listed?

People still search for them and hold them. Each retired exam shows its retirement date, and our guide for it explains what replaced it.

Can I use this table on my own site?

Yes. Use the embed code under the table. It updates itself when we re-check an exam, and the credit line linking back to this page must stay.
