We want to share an important update regarding the scheduled retirement of AI-3017: AI for Business Leaders which was announced on November 19th.
- Retirement Date: February 27, 2026
- Replacement Course: AB-731T00: Drive AI Transformation in Your Organization (ILT trainer files available December 19, 2025; Learn content available now.)
As part of Microsoft’s commitment to keeping content aligned with the latest innovations, AB-731 introduces significant updates to reflect current best practices and the Frontier Firms framework. These updates mean that the AI-3017 trainer files and Learn content are no longer fully aligned. To ensure learners and trainers have the most relevant experience, we strongly recommend transitioning to AB-731 as soon as possible.
Why this matters:
- AB-731 is the future-facing course designed to prepare business leaders for AI transformation.
- AI-3017 will remain available until its retirement date, but no further updates will be made.
- Continuing with AI-3017 may result in gaps compared to updated Learn content.
Action for Trainers and Partners:
Please begin planning to deliver AB-731 starting December 19. Encourage learners to register for AB-731 to stay current with Microsoft’s AI strategy.
