Learn how agentic AIactually works in production.
Not a course. Not a playlist. A full curriculum — written by practitioners, taught with an AI tutor that knows the material, and finished with a credential that means something to the people who hire for this work.
Free to start · No credit card required · 1,250+ engineers enrolled
The demand is real.
Generic training isn't enough.
AI Engineer job postings grew 743% from 2023–25. Roles requiring 2+ AI skills pay 43% more. The gap isn't access to information — it's depth, specificity, and proof of competence.
Three programs. Pick yours.
The engineer writing the code needs different training than the consultant deploying it with a client, or the manager approving the budget. We built a program for each. All three are free to read — no signup required.
Agentic Engineering
Start with how Claude Code actually works, then build up — skills, hooks, subagents, production security, and the business model for practitioners. 56 chapters, eight parts, each one building on the last.
Forward Deployed Engineer
This is the hardest job in AI right now — showing up at a client site, figuring out what to build, and getting it into production without blowing up the relationship. 39 chapters for engineers doing exactly that.
Agentic Management
Your engineers are talking about agents and orchestration. You need to know what that means, what it costs, what can go wrong, and how to lead the rollout. That's what this program teaches.
Go deeper with a structured program.
The free guides teach the discipline. The Graduate Certificate programs add structure, assessment, and a credential that reflects a higher standard of study — multi-course, project-based, and designed for practitioners who want to go on record.
Graduate Certificate in Agentic Engineering
Four structured courses — Prompting Systems, Tool Use & Agents, Production Deployment, and Orchestration — with hands-on projects and a final credential. Course 1 is free.
Graduate Certificate in Software Engineering
Modern backend engineering for AI-era systems — Foundations, System Design, Production Engineering, and Scale. Real patterns from real production systems. Course 1 is free.
The technology moved fast.
The education didn't.
There was no real curriculum
When we started building this, the best available resources were blog posts, YouTube videos, and tool documentation. Good for getting started — not useful for going deep. We wrote the program we wished existed.
Enterprise was an afterthought
Most AI content was written for hobbyists. That's fine for a weekend project — not fine when you're responsible for a system that touches customer data, has approval workflows, and needs an audit trail. We wrote this with those constraints in the picture from the start.
There was nothing to show for it
A LinkedIn post saying "I've been experimenting with AI agents" doesn't help you get hired or justify a budget. The CAE, CFDE, and CAMP give you something concrete — a verified record that you passed a hard exam and completed a practical capstone. Employers can look it up.

Three complete programs — each organized as a learning system, not a blogroll. Pick the track that matches where you are.
A tutor that actually knows the material.
Most AI assistants give you generic answers pulled from the internet. This one is built on the curriculum — so when you ask about permission escalation, it answers from the chapter that covers it, not from a hallucinated summary. It's a tutor, not a search engine. Works across all three programs.
What comes with the Academy.
The curriculum is the foundation. The rest of the Academy exists to make that learning stick — and to keep you current as the tools evolve.
Video Library
Sometimes you need to see something done before you can do it yourself. The video library walks through the harder patterns in the curriculum — not filler content, but demonstrations of exactly what the chapter describes.
Community
A space for practitioners, not cheerleaders. Ask questions, share what you're building, and get feedback from engineers doing the same work. The goal is to learn from each other.
Jobs Board
The roles we surface specifically call for agentic engineering experience — not just 'AI experience.' That distinction matters when you're looking for a team that actually ships with these tools.
Intelligence Feed
Anthropic moves fast. When something changes that affects the curriculum — a new model, a new API, a change to how permissions work — you'll know which chapters are affected and what to re-read.
Knowledge Export
Your notes and bookmarks export as clean PDF or Markdown. Useful for onboarding teammates, building a personal reference doc, or keeping a record of what you've actually learned.
Finish with something you can point to.
Each credential requires two things: passing an exam at 80% or higher, and completing a practical capstone that shows you can apply what you learned. We made it hard on purpose — a credential anyone can pass isn't worth putting on a resume.

Start for freeThe curriculum is free. The Academy is paid.
All 122 chapters are free because we want as many people as possible to have access to good training. Pro exists because the AI tutor, the certification exams, and the team tools cost real money to run well. If you just want to learn, Free is genuinely fine. If you want the credential, you need Pro.
