- A setup you can trust unattended: hooks that stop risky actions before they happen, so you stop babysitting every command.

As a founding team of a scale up, we needed a better grasp of the fast evolving world of Agentic AI. We come away upskilled, having created our own custom agents and AI apps, and with a network of other teams going through similar transitions.

Questions about our agentic AI courses
Which AI agent course should I take first?
Most people start with the Agent Accelerator. It takes you from your first agent to agents that run on a schedule and build software for you. If you already use Claude Code every day, with skills and MCPs working for you, go straight to Claude Code for Builders. The three questions at the top of this page will tell you in under a minute.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. The Agent Accelerator is built for people who don't code: if you've used ChatGPT, you're ready. Claude Code for Builders doesn't need you to be a developer either, but you do need to be comfortable in Claude Code already, with a paid Claude plan and a terminal.
Live cohort or self-paced: what's the difference?
The live cohort runs for four weeks on set dates: a build session every Tuesday and a tactics session every Friday, with a group building alongside you. Self-paced is the same course as recordings, build guides and prompts, and you can start today. Pick live if you want the accountability. Pick self-paced if you can't make the dates.
Do I get a certificate?
On the self-paced Agent Accelerator, yes: finish the course and the graduation form and you get a certificate with a credential ID and its own verification page. The live cohort and Claude Code for Builders don't include one.
Can my team take these courses?
Yes. Teams often take the Agent Accelerator together, and from 10 seats the price per seat drops automatically. For private training built around your company's own tools, see AI workshops for teams.
