MUSA LABS · IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MICROSOFT
AI for Everyone.
Two official AI credentials. Fully sponsored training. Open to entrepreneurs, students, and anyone entering the workforce in the AI era — no cost, no catch.
Program Overview
Musa Labs runs a sponsored skilling engagement with Microsoft built on a simple belief: the AI era should widen the door, not narrow it. Through this program, we take cohorts of learners — founders, students, career-switchers, and young people from our partner communities — through instructor-led, certification-track training toward two official credentials, at no cost to the learner. Training includes live cohort sessions, prep curricula, and hands-on builds. Certification exam access is facilitated through the program platform as learners complete their training.
The Two Credentials
AI-103 · Microsoft
Develop AI Apps and Agents on Azure
The builder's credential — and you don't need to be starting a tech company to use it. General entrepreneurs of every kind get real value here: learn to build and deploy generative AI applications and agents that automate the work inside ANY business — retail, services, media, main street. If you run something, or plan to, this credential teaches you to make AI work for it.
- ●Live cohort sessions + hands-on builds
- ●No prior AI experience required
- ●Official Microsoft credential path
GH-600 · GitHub
GitHub Certified: Agentic AI Developer
The orchestration credential — built for anyone entering the workforce in the AI era. Agentic orchestration is one of the most in-demand skills employers screen for right now: the ability to direct AI agents through real workflows. Students, early-career professionals, and career-switchers: this is the credential that says you don't just use AI — you conduct it.
- ●The current-generation agentic AI certification
- ●Employer-recognized, résumé-ready
- ●Cohort-based with completion tracking
