AI Agents & Automation Engineering
Architect agents that survive contact with production.
In development. Leave your email and we will notify you when it opens.
- Certificate of Completion
- Self-paced, online
- Professional technology education
Agents are easy to demo and hard to operate. This program teaches the engineering discipline behind agents that work in production: architecture, tool boundaries, retrieval quality, orchestration, permissions and human-in-the-loop design.
You will work with real architecture patterns and finish with a functioning agent architecture for a business workflow.
- Design agent architectures with clear boundaries
- Connect agents to tools, APIs and knowledge retrieval
- Implement orchestration, permissions and guardrails
- Engineer evaluations and error handling
- Ship an agent architecture with production considerations
Practical project — a functioning agent architecture for a business workflow.

Common questions.
What does AI Agents & Automation Engineering cover?
AI Agents & Automation Engineering covers agent architecture, retrieval quality and chunking, orchestration, permissions, guardrails, error handling and evaluation across five modules. It is an intermediate program priced at $249 and ends with a practical project: a functioning agent architecture for a business workflow.
Who is AI Agents & Automation Engineering for?
AI Agents & Automation Engineering is built for technical professionals, developers, automation engineers and technical consultants. The program is marked Coming Soon, so its $249 price is published but no payment is taken: you join a list and are notified when enrolment opens.
What is the practical project?
The practical project is a functioning agent architecture designed for a real business workflow, reviewed with feedback before certificate issuance of an ARV-A credential. The 5-module intermediate program also covers single-agent versus multi-agent patterns, state, retries, idempotency and human-in-the-loop design.
