How I studied

Who should probably take this exam?

People administering a GitHub Copilot rollout at their organization.

My thoughts

As a user of GitHub copilot, I thought the courses on prompt engineering and actual usage were pretty good but minimal. I’ve learned a lot more about GitHub copilot reading through the GitHub Copilot for VSCode docs which are fantastic.

The docs stated that it’s targeted at adminstrators and for them I think it’d be key. If you’re managing GitHub Copilot for an enterprise you need to be familiar with:

  • How GitHub Copilot handles data
  • What security options are available
  • General list of features (enough to answer questions for staff)

For all that, this is great.

If you’re someone more interested in, “How does coding with AI actually work?” skip the cert. Maybe check out the learn modules. Comb the GitHub for VSCode docs. Try things out. Go through promptingguide.ai. You’ll learn a lot more.
