Exam overview and details

The Databricks Certified Generative AI Engineer Associate certification validates the technical proficiency required to design, build, and deploy production-grade generative AI applications on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. This credential demonstrates a practitioner's ability to leverage the full Databricks stack-including Databricks Runtime for Machine Learning, MLflow, Vector Search, and the Databricks AI Model Serving infrastructure-to operationalize generative AI solutions. Certified professionals are skilled in integrating large language models (LLMs) with enterprise data, implementing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architectures, managing model lifecycle, and ensuring applications are scalable, secure, and performant. Earning this certification signals to employers a concrete, vendor-validated competency in one of the most transformative and in-demand technology domains, positioning the holder as a key contributor to strategic AI initiatives that drive business innovation and competitive advantage.

Sample Questions

Choose an answer and explore the explanation to see how practice works.

Application Development

A Generative AI Engineer is preparing a Databricks Generative AI solution: making a validated chain available to a web application for a service entitlement assistant with Databricks notebooks, MLflow, and governed data. The app needs a REST API with scaling. The decision concerns serving endpoint for a service entitlement assistant. Which option is the best next step?

Design Applications

In a Databricks production-readiness review, the team describes this situation: helping a product team launch Q&A over curated release notes and implementation guides. The first version needs grounded answers with citations and no external actions. The engineer is deciding how to handle Knowledge Assistant scope. Which approach best satisfies the requirement?

Application Development

A Databricks GenAI application is being designed for this workflow: four reviewers rate the same RAG answers differently. The team needs stable evaluation data for iteration. The design question is SME rubric use. What should the engineer recommend?

Application Development
Scenario

a team confuses evaluation and monitoring for a RAG app for an HR benefits assistant with Databricks notebooks, MLflow, and governed data. They ask when to run offline judges versus production inference logs. The issue centers on lifecycle phase for an HR benefits assistant.

Which choice is most appropriate?

Application Development
Scenario

comparing prompt templates, retriever settings, and model choices. The team needs reproducible metrics and artifacts. The issue centers on MLflow experiments.

Which choice is most appropriate?
