About this course
WHY I WROTE THIS COURSE
Generative AI is moving from experimentation to production. Companies are building real applications powered by foundation models, RAG pipelines, and intelligent agents. The AWS Certified Generative AI Developer - Professional certification reflects this shift, focusing on engineers who can design and deploy reliable, secure generative AI systems at scale.
I built this course based on a pattern I’ve seen across developers transitioning into this space. Many understand the concepts behind LLMs, but struggle to translate them into production-ready systems on AWS. Preparing for the AWS Certified Generative AI Developer exam requires more than theory. It requires knowing how to combine services like Bedrock, SageMaker, and retrieval pipelines into cohesive applications.
This course focuses on that integration. You’ll learn how to design generative AI workflows using RAG, build and manage agents, and deploy scalable applications using AWS-native tools. Security, optimization, and cost considerations are treated as first-class concerns throughout the course.
If you’re aiming to become a generative AI developer and pass the AWS Certified Generative AI Developer - Professional exam, this course provides a clear, practical path to building and shipping real-world AI systems on AWS.
