- Describe the AIF-C01 blueprint, its five domains and their weights
- Explain how the exam is scored, including unscored trial items and compensatory scoring
- Recognise which AWS services are in scope and which are deliberately not
- Identify what changed in the April 2026 revision and why older material is stale
- Judge how far to trust this guide, and what to verify against the official AWS sources yourself
01Before you start
The credential, the blueprint, the service surface, and an honest account of what this independent guide covers.
Print this unit- 1.1What the AIF-C01 exam measuresWhat the AWS Certified AI Practitioner credential tests, how the five domains are weighted, how 65 items produce a score from 50 of them, and what a scaled pass mark of 700 does and does not mean.14m
- 1.2The service surface, as a mapThe in-scope AWS services grouped by the question each one answers, the names that changed in 2025 and 2026 and now break older study material, and the services and job tasks the blueprint deliberately puts out of scope.15m
- 1.3How to prepare for a moving targetWhat the April 2026 revision added to the AIF-C01 blueprint, why study material written before it is partly stale, what AWS's own preparation path offers, and how to use this guide and its exam simulator without misreading the number they give you.14m
- 1.4What this guide is sure aboutA verification ledger for this course: which claims come from the official AIF-C01 exam guide, which claims this guide deliberately refuses to make, which AWS names and statuses move fast enough to need re-checking, and where AWS's own pages disagree with each other.12m
