Agentic AI – Agentic AI learning path, C1 to C5

Build agents that act, with an owner, evals and a tested kill switch.

Levels in this stage

What C1 to C5 mean here.

Each level is earned with an artefact from real work and one check taken without AI.

Quick answers

Questions about Agentic AI.

How do I learn agentic AI step by step?

In three steps. Start with the free C1 Foundation to learn what agents are and the rule of no owner, no agent. Then take Working with AI Agents (C2) to delegate tasks and read traces. Then ship a production agent in the 12-week Agentic AI Engineer (C3) cohort.

Do I need to code to learn agentic AI?

Not to start. C1 and Working with AI Agents (C2) need no coding and suit developers, product people and managers alike. The Agentic AI Engineer (C3) cohort asks for Git and API basics, or the free 30-day technical literacy path, before you apply.
