Master AI.
Certify for free.

9 modules on modern AI, agents, and AI employees — context engineering, MCP, orchestration, evals and governance, taught as the practical discipline of supervising work you did not do yourself.

Beginner to practitioner · Updated July 2026

The fastest-growing teams are the ones that understand AI — not just use it.

This certification gives you the conceptual framework and the hands-on knowledge to go from curious to confident.

What you'll learn

Nine outcomes you can point to — not a list of tools you have heard of.

  • Explain how language models work, and predict where they will fail before they do
  • Apply the four disciplines — delegation, description, discernment, diligence — to real work
  • Engineer context deliberately: instructions, memory, retrieval and skills
  • Connect agents to tools through MCP, including the 2026-07-28 revision
  • Design orchestrated, durable multi-agent workflows that survive production
  • Evaluate AI work with golden sets, regression detection and cost budgets
  • Defend against prompt injection and tool abuse architecturally
  • Meet enterprise requirements: least privilege, audit trails, oversight and AI regulation
  • Design, deploy and supervise an AI employee end to end

9 modules. Everything you need.

From how a language model actually works to deploying, evaluating and governing an AI workforce

Module 1

Foundations: how AI actually works

What a language model is doing under the hood, why tokens and context windows govern everything, and where the failure modes come from.

Module 2

From chatbots to agents

The leap from a model that talks to a system that acts: tools, memory, autonomy, and the loop that ties them together.

Module 3

Working with AI: the four disciplines

A durable framework for collaborating with AI — deciding what to delegate, describing it well, judging the result, and owning the outcome.

Module 4

Context engineering

Why prompt-only approaches break at scale, and how to assemble the right context — instructions, memory, retrieval and skills — for every call.

Module 5

Tools, MCP, and connected agents

How agents reach the outside world: the Model Context Protocol, what changed in the 2026-07-28 revision, and how to equip an employee with the right capabilities.

Module 6

Orchestration and reliability

Turning agents into a workforce that survives production: graphs and checkpoints, durable execution, always-on work, and the code-execution pattern.

Module 7

Evaluating and measuring AI work

How to know whether an AI employee is actually good: golden sets, regression detection, cost and latency budgets, and the bar for going live.

Module 8

Safety, governance, and enterprise readiness

The threat models specific to agents, approval gates as a control, and what an enterprise needs before AI touches production: least privilege, audit, residency, regulation.
