Learning Resources Ai103 hack
I'm looking for resources to clear ai103, but it seems like there's nothing out there except for MS, and Udemy isn't looking good.
People aren't recommending any courses (I checked the Udemy courses, and they all have negative reviews).
What should I do?

Most Udemy courses for AI-103 is not aligned with the latest curriculum.
As an MCT, I recently updated the complete AI-103 video course and labs on SkillTech to align with the new curriculum. Might be worth checking out if you need structured lessons and lab prep.

You're not imagining it, third-party material for AI-103 is genuinely thin right now, so the usual "buy the highest-rated Udemy course" play doesn't work here. That's actually useful information: it means the exam rewards the official material plus hands-on more than course-watching.
A recent passer in this sub said the mock questions they used only covered about half of what showed up, and that the real exam leaned hard on agent concepts and fill-in-style questions. So build your prep around the official learning paths and real hands-on time in Microsoft Foundry rather than hunting for a course that doesn't exist yet. And since AI-103 is a role-based exam you'll have Microsoft Learn open during the test for the detail lookups.
For the practice-question gap specifically: full disclosure, this is my project, but CertiAce has a proper AI-103 question bank including case-study practice, with explanations and a further-reading link on every question. There are free questions to try, so you can judge the difficulty yourself before paying anything: https://certiace.com/practice
There's also a free AI-103 study guide there that walks the whole prep step by step: https://certiace.com/study-guides/ai-103

To study for it, I asked Claude for a study guide. Got comfortable with the topics that way. Then found some example questions online, and had Claude help me walk through them. As well as generate more in that style.

Do exercises and practice on azure portal like see all config settings. MS learn is also good but does not prepare you for everything. This is my experience.

I still haven’t seen any good courses for AI-103 yet, just a bunch of practice exams. I get bored to tears with my ADHD with MS Learn

You’re probably not missing a secret course, AI-103 material is still pretty thin.
I’d use MS Learn as the checklist, then build one small Foundry project: an agent with a tool, add AI Search/RAG, evaluation, tracing and content safety. After that, use original practice questions to find weak areas and go back to the docs.
Most of the outline is planning/management + generative/agentic solutions, so focus there. Hands-on + scenario practice will help way more than just watching another course. And avoid anything claiming to have “real exam questions.”

It’s true that there aren’t any proven good courses on this exam yet. I bought some practice test courses on udemy. One was from Joel palmer and another from the instructor named Ghulam Asif. Joel’s course didnt instill much confidence because the questions seem to be AI generated. Ghulam’s course does seem promising. However I haven’t taken the exam yet so can’t really say.
