CompTIA AI Agent Essentials is a 4–5-hour, hands-on course designed for non-technical and lightly technical professionals who want to build confidence working with AI agents.
Learn how AI agents differ from traditional chatbots and simple automations, and identify where an agentic approach can add value. You’ll translate real-world tasks into structured agent workflows, manage agent context, tools, memory, and knowledge, and apply guardrails to support safe and reliable use.
Through scenario-based exercises and hands-on practice in CompTIA’s proprietary Agent Simulator, you’ll learn to test and evaluate agent performance, monitor behaviour, and identify when human oversight is needed. No coding or previous experience building AI agents is required.
You’ll also validate your skills through a CompTIA CompCert assessment.
