The AWS Certified AI Practitioner (AIF-C01) is AWS’s foundational certification for anyone who needs to understand AI, machine learning, and generative AI — and the AWS services that deliver them — without writing code. It’s aimed at a broad audience: business analysts, product and project managers, sales and marketing professionals, IT support staff, and developers new to AI. The exam is 65 questions in 90 minutes, taken at a test center or online with remote proctoring, and costs $100 USD. You need a scaled score of 700 out of 1000 to pass, and the certification is valid for three years.
Practice questions are the highest-leverage way to prepare: they show you how concepts get tested, expose the gaps you didn’t know you had, and make the real exam feel familiar. The free quiz below works like the real thing — multiple choice with plain-English explanations — and every question explains why the answer is right, which is where the actual studying happens.

| Fundamentals of Generative AI | 24% | Tokens, embeddings, foundation models, prompt engineering, and the AWS generative-AI stack — Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Q, SageMaker JumpStart, PartyRock |
| Applications of Foundation Models | 28% | Model selection, inference parameters, RAG with Bedrock Knowledge Bases, prompt-engineering techniques, fine-tuning, and evaluating model performance |
| Guidelines for Responsible AI | 14% | Bias and fairness, transparency and explainability, and tools like Amazon Bedrock Guardrails and SageMaker Clarify |
| Security, Compliance, and Governance | 14% | Securing AI systems (IAM, encryption), data governance, and compliance — AWS Config, CloudTrail, Audit Manager, and Artifact |
