AI Agent and Automation Engineer Pathway
An assessed agent-system portfolio with architecture, evaluation evidence and a safe handoff.. Demonstrate tool permissions, unsupported-answer handling, recovery, test evidence and an independent live modification.
Register your interest. Dates and delivery are confirmed before enrolment opens.
What you will be able to do.
Build understanding, put it into practice and finish with work you can explain.
- Demonstrate tool permissions, unsupported-answer handling, recovery, test evidence and an independent live modification.
Is this for you?
Advanced learners who can demonstrate the entry competencies listed below. Preparation suggestions are optional.
Before you begin
Create a folder, open a supplied file and submit a named artifact Write a small function, branch on input and explain an error path Read a JSON file and test a Python function Build a validated endpoint and test an invalid request Explain method status headers and JSON; send one safe request Create a branch, commit a change and recover an edit Join and aggregate a small relational fixture without duplicate totals
How you will show your progress
Demonstrate tool permissions, unsupported-answer handling, recovery, test evidence and an independent live modification.
From first principles to applied work.
Explain → Demonstration → Guided practice → Review

How you will practise and be assessed.
The planned assessment checks your result, your judgement and your ability to apply what you learned independently.
- 01
Build the promised result
Demonstrate the promised artifact
WHAT YOUR WORK SHOULD SHOWDemonstrate tool permissions, unsupported-answer handling, recovery, test evidence and an independent live modification.
- 02
Test a limit or failure
Run a previously unseen access failure recovery and duplicate-action test set
WHAT YOUR WORK SHOULD SHOWThe documented failure/uncertainty is visible, and no prohibited action or unsupported success claim occurs.
- 03
Apply it independently
Independently explain and change one assumption in an assessed agent-system portfolio with architecture, evaluation evidence and a safe handoff..
WHAT YOUR WORK SHOULD SHOWThe learner predicts and verifies the change; AI output is not accepted without understanding.
