Agentic AI and Prompt Engineering – Design, Development and Implementation
Artificial Intelligence
Agentic AI and Prompt Engineering – Design, Development, and Implementation is a comprehensive 5-day hands-on training program designed to equip participants with the knowledge and practical skills required to design, develop, and deploy modern AI-powered solutions using Large Language Models (LLMs), advanced prompt engineering techniques, and Agentic AI architectures.
Participants will begin by exploring the foundations of Generative AI, understanding how LLMs work, and mastering prompt engineering methodologies that improve AI accuracy, reliability, and performance. The course then progresses into advanced prompting strategies, structured output generation, prompt optimization, and evaluation techniques used in enterprise environments.
Building on these fundamentals, learners will be introduced to Agentic AI—autonomous AI systems capable of reasoning, planning, memory management, tool usage, and decision-making. Through hands-on labs and real-world scenarios, participants will design intelligent agents, multi-agent systems, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions, and AI workflows using leading frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, and Semantic Kernel.
The final modules focus on enterprise implementation, covering governance, security, monitoring, observability, performance evaluation, and industry-specific use cases. By the end of the course, participants will be able to architect, build, evaluate, and deploy scalable Agentic AI solutions that integrate with business systems and support real-world automation initiatives.
Duration: 5 days / 40 hours
Delivery Method: Classroom-based, Virtual Instructor Led Training
