Overview

Design, build and evaluate AI agents that can reason over tasks, use tools, maintain state and memory, execute multi-step workflows, interact with humans and operate reliably in real-world environments.

What You Will Learn

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

  • Explain Agentic AI and distinguish AI agents from conventional LLM applications.
  • Design agent architectures using models, tools, memory, state and orchestration.
  • Implement function/tool calling and integrate external APIs, search, databases and files.
  • Build planning, reasoning and multi-step agent workflows.
  • Implement ReAct-style reasoning-and-action loops and controlled autonomy.
  • Manage agent memory, context, state transitions and persistence.
  • Add human-in-the-loop approval, validation, guardrails and failure recovery.
  • Evaluate agents using task success, tool accuracy, trajectory and response-quality metrics.
  • Build an AI research agent capable of planning, searching, synthesizing and reporting.
  • Design and demonstrate a production-oriented agent workflow.

Prerequisites

Working knowledge of Python, LLM fundamentals, APIs and basic prompt engineering is recommended. Familiarity with RAG is helpful but not mandatory.

Our Training Process

How a course becomes measurable skill.

One contract, five steps, zero handoffs. From discovery to deployment, the same Synergific team owns the outcome — not a chain of vendors.

5 Steps from your scoping call to certified, productive engineers.
01

Discover & set goals

We start with a scoping call to understand your team's current skill level, target outcomes, deadlines, and certification needs — then translate that into a measurable success plan with named owners on both sides.

02

Curate the right path

We map the optimal learning path — instructor-led, self-paced, or blended — with hands-on cloud labs, prerequisite refreshers, and certification vouchers built in. No filler modules, no padded curriculum.

03

Deliver hands-on training

Authorised trainers run live sessions backed by 24/7 cloud labs and real-world projects. Theory and practice on the same day — learners stop forgetting concepts before they get to apply them.

04

Assess & mentor

Continuous skill checks, mock exams, and 1:1 mentoring keep the program honest. If anyone falls behind, we course-correct in-flight — you'll never find out at the end that two engineers couldn't keep up.

05

Certify & apply on the job

Voucher-backed certification, post-training office hours, and 30-day reinforcement so skills land on real work — not just on the exam scorecard. Success measured after the course ends, not before.
