Skills transformation

Where your team is now vs where they'll be after the programme.

Before · Day Zero

Where most teams start

  • ·Familiar with Azure fundamentals (AZ-900) but no hands-on AI service experience
  • ·Limited working knowledge of Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Foundry, Azure AI Search
  • ·Cannot architect a production AI application on Azure with proper identity, networking, and observability
  • ·No AI-102 exam preparation or familiarity with the question patterns
  • ·Unfamiliar with Azure-specific AI patterns: PromptFlow, Content Safety, AI Content Filtering
  • ·Limited fluency with AI Foundry agents, model catalog, and deployment patterns
After · Programme Close

Where they'll arrive

  • Azure AI Services mastery — Vision, Language, Speech, Document Intelligence, Translator deployed in production patterns
  • Azure OpenAI fluency — model deployment, fine-tuning, content filtering, monitoring, cost governance
  • Azure AI Foundry expertise — agents, model catalog, evaluation, prompt flow, deployment management
  • Azure AI Search architecture — vector search, hybrid retrieval, semantic ranking for enterprise RAG
  • Production discipline — VNet integration, Private Endpoints, RBAC, monitoring, cost dashboards
  • AI-102 certified — passes Microsoft Certified: Azure AI Engineer Associate exam
Why NovelVista

Built for L&D outcomes, not seat counts.

16–20
Hours of blended learning across VILT and self-paced labs
13
Modules covering prompting, Custom GPTs, automation, multimodal AI, and responsible use
40–60%
Target reduction in recurring task effort through documented workflow compression
50+
Tested, role-specific prompts learners leave with in their personal prompt library

Prompt discipline, not prompt luck

Learners move from trial-and-error prompting to named patterns such as role prompting, few-shot, prompt chaining, and self-critique.

Reusable team assets

The programme produces Custom GPTs, reusable workflow templates, and a shared prompt library that teams can govern and scale.

Daily productivity workflows

Labs focus on email, reports, slides, meetings, spreadsheets, research synthesis, and role-based business assignments.

$

Measured time savings

Capstone workflows document recurring task compression, review-cycle reduction, and before/after productivity improvements.

Responsible enterprise use

Learners practise confidentiality, IP, bias detection, verification checklists, and safe-use protocols before adoption at scale.

Sustainment built in

30-day, 60-day, and 90-day check-ins help learners keep pace as ChatGPT features and frontier models evolve.

Delivery framework

A four-milestone path from skill gap to client-ready.

1
Milestone One

Foundation & baseline

Establish a working mental model of ChatGPT, frontier models, tokens, context windows, hallucination risks, and model-selection trade-offs.

2
Milestone Two

Prompt engineering labs

Learners practise CRISPE, SPEAR, role prompting, constraint-led prompting, few-shot prompting, self-critique, and prompt iteration on real work scenarios.

3
Milestone Three

Custom GPTs & workflow automation

Each learner builds reusable GPTs and connects ChatGPT to productivity tools for email, documents, spreadsheets, meetings, and research workflows.

4
Milestone Four

Capstone & sustainment

Learners demonstrate a personal AI productivity system and continue with prompt-of-the-week, model-of-the-month, and 30/60/90-day check-ins.

Lead Trainer

Domain-expert trainers, not professional presenters.

"My job isn't to teach ChatGPT as a tool — it's to help professionals build repeatable AI workflows, verify the output, and reclaim hours from routine work."

Microsoft does not publicly publish the official AI-102 exam pass rate. What Microsoft does publish is the passing score: candidates need a scaled score of 700 or higher out of 1,000 to pass Microsoft technical certification exams. Also note that AI-102 and the Azure AI Engineer Associate certification are scheduled to retire on 30 June 2026.
