Let's talk a little bit on NVIDIA certification. There are various certifications offered by NVIDIA, and they cater to different audience and different profiles. We'll talk about few of them. I have just picked up two categories here. One certification from NVIDIA, which is designed for infrastructure professionals, people who manage data center or deploy data center, and another are developer who use these data center technologies to create those models or run inferences. If I focus on these two categories of infrastructure professional and developers, there are two layers of certification in that. One to start with is associate and second is professional. Associate is for the people who are just starting up their journey. If you already know about these technologies, then probably you should focus on professional certification. Here, the first certification which I'm talking about is AI Infrastructure and Operation, NCAA-AIO. This one is covering in-depth information about infrastructure of a Gen-AI operating data center. Then there are deep dive certification which are professional for specific aspect of infrastructure operations and networking. Similarly, for developer, there are certification one which focuses in associate layer about AI and LLMs, and second, which talks about multi-model generative AI. And then, again, there are deep dives for professional certification. We cannot cover all the certifications in one training. So I'm going to focus on the basic infrastructure certification, which is AI Infrastructure and Operation, NCA-AIIO certification. To achieve this certification, you have to pass an exam. Let me talk about exam details. So this is how the badge looks like if you pass the certification. In this particular exam, you would have one hour of duration to answer questions. There is $125 cost of this exam. And then there would be questions related to AI infrastructure and operation, which we are going to discuss about in this particular training. There are 50 questions you have to answer. There is no negative marking. And you do not get specific scores, but you get a pass or fail from NVIDIA exams. Also, its prerequisite is that it should have basic understanding of data center infrastructure. Even if you don't know that, don't worry. We'll talk about some of these aspects as we move forward.
