AWS has expanded its certification portfolio to five AI credentials, designed to help professionals at every level validate their skills. According to a study commissioned by AWS, organizations are willing to pay a premium for AI-certified professionals—including salaries up to 47% higher for IT workers, 43% higher for those in sales and marketing, and 42% higher for those in finance.
The newest addition is AWS Certified AI Business Strategist, which helps professionals validate their business judgment skills needed to take AI from adoption to scale. The five certifications span foundational AI literacy, business strategy, and technical implementation, with free and low-cost training resources available through AWS Skill Builder.
