About this course
Prompt Engineering and AI Agents gives delegates a structured, practical understanding of prompt engineering techniques and structured outputs and reasoning, then builds the skills to apply AI agents and tool use, evaluating AI outputs and building simple agent workflows in real work. AI, data and cybersecurity courses for professionals and leaders, the most requested future skills in our 2030 demand plan. Demand for these skills is expected to rise strongly by 2027.
Sessions are led by practitioners with at least 15 years in the field, and mix short input with exercises, case studies and group work, so delegates return with methods they can use straight away.
