What's New

Updated

AWS Agentic AI Demonstrated Badge

AWS Agentic AI Demonstrated

Validates skills in configuring and integrating Amazon Bedrock AgentCore features, including Runtime, Gateway, and Memory. This updated microcredential reflects the rapid evolution of Agentic AI on AWS - candidates prove they can configure the core components that power production-ready AI agents.

 

New

AWS MLOps Demonstrated Badge

AWS MLOps Demonstrated

Validates skills in using Amazon SageMaker AI to deploy foundation models and fine-tune ML models, run inference, configure observability, and scale applications. Candidates prove they can take foundation models from experimentation to production - deploying, fine-tuning, and running inference at scale.

What Microcredentials Prove

Unlike certifications that test theoretical knowledge, microcredentials place candidates in live AWS environments where they configure, troubleshoot, and optimize solutions under timed, realistic conditions - the same way they would on the job. These are hands-on, role-relevant assessments that prove what someone can do, complementing the broad knowledge validated by AWS Certifications.
