Advanced Generative AI Development on AWS Training & Certification Course
The Advanced Generative AI Development on AWS course equips developers and technical professionals with skills to build production-ready generative AI solutions using AWS services like Amazon Bedrock, addressing the critical industry challenge of moving from AI prototypes to scalable, secure deployments.
Course Overview
Participants engage with core AWS services including Amazon Bedrock, Amazon SageMaker AI, Amazon Nova, Amazon Titan, AWS Lambda, and Amazon OpenSearch Serverless, mastering their integration within enterprise architectures. The hands-on labs, conducted in the AWS Management Console, challenge students to build secure, scalable generative AI applications using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), vector databases, and agentic AI systems. A key project involves developing a production-ready RAG application using Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases, where learners configure document processing pipelines, implement dynamic model selection, and apply token optimization strategies. These labs simulate real-world scenarios such as building customer support chatbots with enterprise knowledge bases and deploying AI agents with tool integration for automated workflows.
This course directly aligns with the AWS Certified Generative AI Developer - Professional certification, which validates advanced expertise in deploying secure, efficient, and responsible AI solutions on AWS. Certified professionals report average salary increases of 25% and are highly sought after, with AI developer roles commanding median salaries exceeding $150,000 in North America. Optiv Solutions enhances this learning journey with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official AWS courseware, and optional 1-on-1 mentoring, ensuring personalized support. By mastering the full generative AI lifecycle—from foundation model evaluation to observability and governance—graduates are positioned to lead AI transformation, drive innovation, and deliver measurable business value in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
