Course Overview
Artificial intelligence is evolving beyond single prompts and models into systems capable of planning, reasoning, and interacting with tools. These systems, often called agentic AI, allow organisations to build autonomous workflows that can analyse information, make decisions, and perform tasks with minimal human intervention.
This mentor-led programme introduces the core principles behind modern AI agents. Participants explore how agents operate, how they interact with tools and data sources, and how orchestration patterns allow multiple agents to collaborate. Through practical scenarios, learners examine how organisations design reliable agent-driven workflows.
The course also introduces safety guardrails, oversight mechanisms, and evaluation approaches that help ensure responsible AI deployment. By the end of the programme, participants will understand how agentic systems work, how they are structured, and how organisations manage risk when deploying AI agents in real environments.
