Enterprise AI Architecture
Every track is built from real customer problems β not lab exercises or exam memorization. Actual production architecture decisions with code, break-and-fix exercises, and knowledge checks.
Azure AI Foundry + Hosted Agents
Production-grade labs: data residency, agent hallucinations, multi-agent security, and enterprise-scale AI orchestration.
Responsible AI & Governance
RAI Standard v2, Purview AI Hub, Azure AI Content Safety, PyRIT red teaming, EU AI Act & NIST RMF compliance.
Agentic Reliability
The 5 failure modes that kill AI agents in production. Build defenses against hallucination, context rot, math gaps, intelligence degradation, and semantic drift.
