About the AWS AIP Certification

The AWS Generative AI Developer - Professional (AIP-C01) certification exam is intended for individuals who perform a GenAI developer role. The exam validates a candidate's ability to effectively integrate foundation models (FMs) into applications and business workflows. This certification demonstrates practical knowledge of how to implement GenAI solutions into production environments by using AWS technologies.

My Experience and Tips

I passed this certification exam on 8th January 2026. I wrote a blog post and made a YouTube video with tips and materials I used:

Previous Certifications

This certification should NOT be your first AWS certification. It is highly recommended to study and pass previous certifications that cover foundational material that AIP-C01 builds upon. I personally already held these certifications when I took this professional-level exam:

I strongly suggest you don't skip these certifications, especially if you lack ML, AI, and/or AWS knowledge.

‼️ These notes assume you have already studied for those certifications!!
- Sometimes these notes will provide overlapping content or go deeper into topics covered in those previous certifications
- Other times it is assumed you already have the necessary knowledge covered in those certifications.
  - Don't expect these notes to cover stuff like “What is an LLM?”, “What is supervised and unsupervised learning in ML?”, “What is cloud computing?”, “What is Amazon ECS?”, etc.
  - If there is a knowledge gap, it is probably addressed in those previous certifications.
- I have study materials (notes and flashcards) for those certifications too, available in my website: https://christiangreciano.com
