Yes—if the material is aligned to AI-901, then it is the right preparation path for the AI-901 exam.
For AI-901, the focus has shifted toward Microsoft Foundry rather than the older AI-900 structure. The AI-901 study guide shows that the exam covers:
- Identify AI concepts and capabilities
- Implement AI solutions by using Microsoft Foundry
- Generative AI apps and agents
- Text, speech, vision, and information extraction scenarios
The study guide also states that candidates should have:
- Conceptual knowledge of AI solutions in Azure
- Foundational technical skills to work with them
- Knowledge of Python coding syntax and programming techniques
- Familiarity with Azure resources
If the learning content being used is from the older AI-900 path, it may still overlap in some areas, but AI-901 has been updated and rewritten with more emphasis on Foundry. A moderator answer also notes that the AI-901 learning modules were updated for this newer focus.
A good way to confirm the course is the correct one is to compare it against the AI-901 skills measured list, especially these areas:
- AI concepts and responsible AI
- Model capabilities and deployment options
- AI workloads such as generative AI, speech, vision, and information extraction
- Building lightweight applications by using Foundry
