FREE UL Artificial Intelligence credit and others from Microsoft - MNomadic - 02-14-2021
I know these free Microsoft opportunities have been posted before but I thought I'd share again since this one in particular piqued my interest.
Microsoft Virtual Training Days are held pretty frequently and typically focus on fundamental topics. When they feature a topic covered by one of their exams, they seem to include a free exam attempt. I previously did this for Azure Fundamentals successfully. There are 4 upcoming dates for VIRTUAL: Microsoft Azure Virtual Training Day: AI Fundamentals plus for some other related events. The Microsoft Azure Certified: AI Fundamentals(AI-900) cert is good for life and ACE recommended for 1 UL credit in artificial intelligence and of course it comes with a digital badge.
It looks like their Dynamics 365 virtual training day would be a great opportunity if you're able to pass the accompanying cert since it worth 3 UL credits! I'm not sure if/how that would apply to a CS degree but I'd hop on that opportunity if I needed more UL credits. To be fair, the exam isn't too expensive on it's own if someone missed this specific event.

Thanks for sharing.
Does also the Dynamics 365 come with a digital badge?

Don't know about that specific one, but all of my other Microsoft exams and certs came with Acclaim badges.

Looks like the Dynamics course is only Pacific time.
Wonder if the 3 UL credits transfer to TESU BALS AoS.

The ACE guide says that Dynamics 365 is 3 UL credits in "enterprise resource management systems or information systems management". As I understand things, this should work for either a BSBA CIS or a BA CS at TESU but it probably will not work for a BALS AOS.
Since this is UL credit, I signed up for it despite the inconvenient time.

Found some free practice questions for the AI 900 cert.
Also, Microsoft Learn is free. If you want more materials to prepare.
Searching Youtube also revealed lots of prep videos for this cert.

It might duplicate Management Information Systems at Study.com (which is UL) or other MIS courses.

Has anyone completed any of these courses? Wondering what they're like. My husband has been looking for some machine language courses. He may be interested in this, too.

I haven't done this specific one yet, though I plan to, but I have done a previous free Microsoft training for Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900). The fundamentals exams are entry level for people who may not have a technical background so they shouldn't be too challenging.
There's another Ignite Cloud Challenge coming up in early March. These events usually let people take one or more of the Microsoft Certs for free. Many of Microsoft's current certs are worth ACE credit. Feel free to check the ACE national guide and/or Acclaim to see which ones are worth what credits.
