The Databricks Certified Generative AI Engineer Associate certification exam assesses an
individual’s ability to design and implement LLM-enabled solutions using Databricks. This includes
problem decomposition to break down complex requirements into manageable tasks as well as
choosing appropriate models, tools, and approaches from the current generative AI landscape for
developing comprehensive solutions. It also assesses Databricks-specific tools such as Vector
Search for semantic similarity searches, Model Serving for deploying models and solutions, MLflow
for managing solution lifecycle, and Unity Catalog for data governance. Individuals who pass this
exam can be expected to build and deploy performant RAG applications and LLM chains that take
full advantage of Databricks and its toolset.
