The AIP-C01 exam in four numbers
Data from the official certification page and the exam guide from AWS.
What is the AWS Certified Generative AI Developer – Professional certification?
AWS Certified Generative AI Developer – Professional is the AWS certification for people who perform a GenAI developer role. The exam validates your ability to effectively integrate foundation models (FMs) into applications and business workflows, and shows practical knowledge of implementing GenAI solutions in production with AWS technologies. The exam code is AIP-C01.
AWS describes the target candidate as having 2 or more years of experience building production-grade applications on AWS or with open-source technologies, general AI/ML or data engineering experience, and 1 year of hands-on experience implementing GenAI solutions. Read the complete AIP-C01 exam guide for the question types, scoring and the study plan.
The 5 exam domains and their weight
The exam is split into five domains. The first two make up 57% of the scored content, so they deserve most of your study time:
| Domain | Content | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Foundation Model Integration, Data Management, and Compliance | 31% |
| 2 | Implementation and Integration | 26% |
| 3 | AI Safety, Security, and Governance | 20% |
| 4 | Operational Efficiency and Optimization for GenAI Applications | 12% |
| 5 | Testing, Validation, and Troubleshooting | 11% |
Study topics with official sources
Each topic collects facts from the official AWS documentation that exam questions tend to hinge on, with a link to the page every fact comes from.
RAG data: chunking and embeddings
Fixed-size, hierarchical, semantic and no chunking in Bedrock Knowledge Bases, plus Titan Text Embeddings V2 dimensions and binary vectors.
RAG retrieval: hybrid search, reranking and filters
How Bedrock Knowledge Bases retrieve: hybrid vs semantic search, reranking, metadata filters, query decomposition and Retrieve vs RetrieveAndGenerate.
Bedrock Guardrails: filters, PII and grounding
Guardrail policy types, content filters, denied topics, PII block vs mask, contextual grounding thresholds, detect mode and Automated Reasoning.
Governance: enforcing guardrails and data privacy
Enforce guardrails with the bedrock:GuardrailIdentifier IAM condition, understand Bedrock data privacy, and allow cross-Region inference in SCPs.
Capacity: throughput, cross-Region inference and routing
Provisioned Throughput, geographic vs global inference profiles, batch inference and intelligent prompt routing for the AIP-C01 exam.
Prompt caching and token costs
How Bedrock prompt caching works: static prefix first, checkpoints, TTL, cache misses and how to count total input tokens with caching on.
Orchestration: Step Functions, streaming and retries
Step Functions limits and callbacks, Lambda response streaming, SDK retry modes, the Converse API, Prompt Management and AWS AppConfig for AIP-C01.
Monitoring, logging and evaluation
Model invocation logging destinations and limits, per-caller token usage, Bedrock evaluation job types and RAG evaluation datasets for AIP-C01.
How the practice exam works
⚡ Practice mode with instant feedback
Answer, check right away and read the key rule that explains why the correct option wins. You learn at the exact moment of the mistake.
⏱ Exam mode
Answer with no hints and get graded at the end, as in the real exam, then review every question with its explanation.
😎 Confidence level
Before checking you say whether you guessed, doubted or were sure. A lucky guess does not count as learned, and being sure but wrong is the mistake that is best corrected.
📌 Incorrect questions bank
Whatever you miss goes into a separate bank and only leaves it when you get it right. Keep taking tests without losing a single hard question.
🧠 Spaced repetition
A Leitner box system shows you questions again exactly when they are due: today, tomorrow, in three days, in a week.
🔔 A tip every 3 hours on Android
The Android app sends you study tips for the exam you choose, based on official AWS documentation, each with a link to its source.
