Agentic AI describes systems that can plan multi-step work, use tools, maintain task context, and act within defined permissions. This program helps learners evaluate when that approach is appropriate and how to engineer it responsibly.

Do I need prior experience with AI agents to take this course?

No prior experience with agentic AI is required. The course begins by establishing when agents are the right approach, then moves into hands-on setup and building, so you gain both judgment and practical skills.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Certificate?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Certificate, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
