About AIF-C01
A foundational exam on using AI on AWS rather than building models from scratch. Most of it is about generative AI: when a foundation model fits, how Amazon Bedrock, RAG and agents are put together, how prompting and fine-tuning compare, and how to keep AI use safe and governed.
Who it's for. Product managers, analysts and developers who choose or integrate AI services and need a shared vocabulary with ML teams.
How to prepare
- Know the cost and effort order of customisation: prompt engineering, then RAG, then fine-tuning, then continued pre-training.
- Expect to pick the managed service for a task: Comprehend, Rekognition, Transcribe, Textract, Lex or Bedrock.
- Responsible AI questions reward specifics such as Guardrails, model cards, Clarify for bias, and human review with A2I.
Sample AIF-C01 questions
Try these with the answers on the page, then practise the full bank.
- A manufacturer streams vibration readings from its pumps. Nearly all readings are normal, and the team wants to flag rare readings that deviate sharply from typical behavior. It has no labeled examples of failures. Which kind of task is this? Fundamentals of AI and ML
- A customer-service bot built on Amazon Bedrock must decline investment advice, block abusive language, and mask account numbers that appear in chat messages. Which Bedrock feature provides these safeguards? Guidelines for responsible AI
- A manufacturer wants a model that inspects photos of circuit boards on a production line and flags visible solder defects. Which neural network architecture is best suited to this task? Fundamentals of AI and ML
- A developer wants generated text to draw only from the smallest group of next-token candidates whose combined probability reaches a chosen threshold, so rare words are excluded while the output still varies. Which inference parameter does this? Fundamentals of generative AI
- A clinic runs a patient-intake assistant on AWS and must meet its HIPAA obligations. Which task remains the clinic's own responsibility rather than AWS's? Security, compliance and governance for AI
- A company wants to serve a support chatbot at high volume with lower per-request cost. It trains a compact model to reproduce the answers of a much larger model, and the compact model then handles the traffic. What is this technique called? Applications of foundation models
- A team building semantic search over product manuals needs a managed AWS store that can hold embedding vectors and run k-nearest-neighbor queries. Which service should it choose? Applications of foundation models
- A media company runs a steady, high-volume summarization job through a foundation model around the clock and needs predictable latency at a lower unit cost. Which Amazon Bedrock option should it evaluate? Applications of foundation models

Questions people ask
Is this AIF-C01 practice exam free?
Yes. All 100 questions, the timed mock exam and the explanations are free, and there's no account to create.
Are these real exam questions?
No. Real exam questions are confidential under the AWS candidate agreement. These are practice questions written to cover the same domains in the same scenario style, each with an explanation of why the answer is right.
How is the AIF-C01 mock exam scored?
Questions are drawn from every domain in proportion to the exam guide, and you get a raw percentage with a breakdown by domain. AWS uses scaled scoring, so treat 75% or more here as a sign you're ready rather than a predicted score.
