AWS publishes exactly what the AIF-C01 tests and how much each part is worth. Here it is — every domain, its weight, the topics inside it, and the lessons that cover them.
Core AI and ML concepts and terminology, practical use cases, and the AI/ML development lifecycle.
Generative AI concepts, its capabilities and limitations for business problems, and the AWS infrastructure for building GenAI applications.
Design considerations for FM-based applications, prompt engineering, training and fine-tuning, and evaluating FM performance — the heaviest-weighted domain.
Responsible development of AI systems, and the importance of transparent and explainable models.
Securing AI systems on AWS, and the governance and compliance regulations that apply to them.
Reading every note front to back is the slowest way to pass. The exam is weighted, so your revision should be too — the blueprint above tells you exactly where the marks are.
Applications of Foundation Models carries the most marks on the AIF-C01, so it earns the most of your attention. Work down the blueprint from the heaviest domain to the lightest rather than starting at domain 1 and grinding forward.
Read each lesson once without stopping to memorise — you are building a map, not a memory. On the second pass, read only the "what's tested" and key-takeaway blocks. If a takeaway surprises you, that lesson goes back on the pile.
Cover a lesson's key takeaways and try to say them out loud from the heading alone. Recall you can produce under your own steam is the only recall that survives a timed exam; recognition on a re-read is not the same thing.
Finishing the notes is not the goal — scoring is. Move to AIF-C01 practice questions early, then come back to the exact lessons your wrong answers point at. That loop is worth far more than a third read-through.
