Architect-level AI roles demand more than tool knowledge — they demand the ability to reason across neural network design, evaluation, deployment, and responsible AI governance as one coherent system. This exam-focused preparation course, built by instructor Aseem Mankotia, walks you through all ten official domains of the AI CERTs AI+ Architect Practitioner (AT-320) blueprint, turning dense architecture theory into concrete design decisions you can defend in an interview or an exam room.
Each of the first ten chapters maps directly to one AT-320 exam domain — covering perceptrons and backpropagation, optimizers and regularization, transformer and CNN architecture choices, evaluation metrics, AI infrastructure and MLOps, responsible AI design, generative AI and RAG architecture, and research-based decision making. Every chapter pairs theory with a hands-on lab using real, teachable tools — PyTorch, Hugging Face transformers, FastAPI, Docker, scikit-learn, and cloud model-serving concepts from Vertex AI, SageMaker, and Azure ML — plus exam-style scenario questions, flashcards, and documented exam traps. A full capstone architecture project and a timed 90-minute, 50-question simulated exam with a required score of 35 out of 50 close out the course.
This is independent, vendor-neutral companion content designed to build the conceptual depth AT-320 assesses — it is not a replacement for official AI CERTs authorized training, and it assumes you already have foundational neural network knowledge, basic computer science background, and familiarity with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP). It is built for solution and systems architects, AI/ML engineers, IT infrastructure managers, technical leaders, and advanced students preparing for a broad, vendor-neutral AI Architect credential that complements platform-specific architecture certifications.
AI content disclosure: This course was produced with the assistance of artificial intelligence tools. Lecture narration is AI-voice generated, and lecture scripts, slides, and practice questions were drafted with AI assistance, then reviewed and curated by the instructor for technical accuracy and alignment with the official AT-320 exam guide.
