Leading instructor Stephane Maarek launched a
new course ahead of the AWS Certified AI Practitioner Exam to
prepare professionals with cutting-edge Cloud and AI skills
Udemy (Nasdaq: UDMY), a leading online skills marketplace and
learning platform, today announced the launch of a new course,
“Ultimate AWS Certified AI Practitioner AIF-C01” created by
celebrated Udemy instructor, Stephane Maarek. As demand for
generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) content continues to
surge across the Udemy platform, this new course provides learners
with the most up-to-date knowledge of GenAI, AI, and machine
learning (ML) concepts to prepare for the new AWS Certified AI
Practitioner exam, solidifying the speed-to-market advantage Udemy
has through its marketplace model.
“I’m grateful that Udemy allows me to identify emerging trends
within my subject areas, enabling me to create new courses ahead of
the market for more than 2.6 million learners enrolled in my
courses,” said Maarek. “The advanced tools provided by Udemy also
allow me to continuously update my courses as new information is
available on AWS certification exams, ensuring that learners are
always up-to-speed with what they need to successfully complete
their certification exams and stay competitive in their
careers.”
GenAI continues to reshape the global skills landscape, with
professionals dedicated to mastering new AI trends and showcasing
their proficiency to employers. Udemy’s Q1 2024 Global Workplace
Learning Index reported a 21% increase in GenAI course consumption,
reflecting the workplace's continued pursuit of innovative AI
models.
- In the past year alone, GenAI courses on the Udemy platform
attracted more than four million enrollments, with eight new
enrollments occurring every minute.
- IT certification preparation courses have also seen incredibly
strong demand with 11 million learner enrollments over the past
12 months, out of which 2.5 million are specifically for AWS
certifications.
- Since December 2022, ChatGPT-related courses on Udemy have
garnered more than 3.3 million learner enrollments.
"We are seeing firsthand how GenAI and AWS skills are rapidly
transforming industries through the huge demand for these
competencies from professionals across various fields," said Scott
Rogers, Senior Vice President of Instructor and Content Strategy at
Udemy. “We provide timely, high-quality resources that empower
individuals to learn about the latest technologies to help them
acquire industry-leading certifications. By offering courses that
keep pace with the latest advancements and certification
requirements, we are helping to bridge the skills gap in this
critical area.”
Designed for professionals from a variety of backgrounds,
Maarek’s new course covers GenAI and broader AI/ML concepts. It
teaches learners how to identify opportunities for AI applications
and provides guidance on the responsible use of AI tools. The
course is available to individuals on the Udemy marketplace as well
as enterprise customers through Udemy Business. Maarek also
designed practice exams for the AWS Certified AI Practitioner
(AIF-C01) certification, which learners can register for starting
August 13.
Maarek is a serial founder, former CEO of DataCumulus, solutions
architect, consultant, and software developer specializing in Big
Data, Cloud, and APIs. He is a recognized expert having secured
