Course Overview

The Microsoft course "Build an AI App with Azure Using RAG" is designed to equip developers and AI engineers with the skills to create intelligent applications leveraging Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) on the Azure platform. This training supports preparation for the Microsoft Certified: Azure AI Engineer Associate certification (exam AI-102), which validates expertise in designing and implementing AI solutions using Azure AI services. Targeted at AI Engineers, Cloud Developers, and Solutions Architects, the course addresses a growing industry demand, as 78% of enterprises now prioritize AI integration into business applications, according to Microsoft’s 2025 AI Adoption Report. It is ideal for professionals aiming to build secure, scalable, and data-grounded generative AI solutions in the cloud.

Participants engage with core Azure services including Azure AI Studio, Azure OpenAI Service, Azure AI Search, Azure App Service, and the Microsoft Foundry SDK, all accessed through the Azure Portal. The hands-on labs focus on building a production-ready RAG-based chat application that retrieves information from custom data sources such as product catalogs or enterprise documents. Students configure hybrid search with semantic and vector indexing, implement prompt flow to ground large language models in proprietary data, and deploy a full-stack AI application using managed identities for secure service-to-service communication. A key project involves creating a client-facing AI assistant for a retail scenario, where the app answers domain-specific queries like “Which sleeping bag is best for sub-zero temperatures?” by retrieving and synthesizing data from indexed documents.

This course prepares learners for the Microsoft Certified: Azure AI Engineer Associate credential, a globally recognized certification that demonstrates proficiency in enterprise AI development on Azure. Certified professionals report an average salary of $166,650 in the U.S., with senior roles exceeding $200,000, reflecting high market demand. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official Microsoft courseware, and optional 1-on-1 mentoring to ensure mastery of complex RAG architectures. Upon completion, graduates are positioned to lead AI innovation in organizations adopting generative AI, paving the way for roles in AI solution design, cloud intelligence, and responsible AI governance.
