Why Choose This Course

AI-3026 is an intermediate-level training course designed to help professionals develop intelligent AI agents using Azure AI Foundry and the Semantic Kernel Agent Framework. This hands-on course teaches participants how to create, deploy, and manage scalable, customisable AI agents that integrate advanced capabilities into real-world applications. It is aligned to Microsoft’s Applied Skills credential: Develop AI agents on Azure. 
 
Throughout the course, learners explore agent design principles, development options, and deployment strategies using Azure AI Agent Service. You will build agents using the Azure AI Foundry portal, extend functionality with custom tools, and orchestrate multi-agent solutions for collaborative workflows. The course includes practical exercises using Visual Studio Code and the Microsoft Agent Framework SDK, enabling participants to test and refine agents in sandbox environments. 
 
This training is ideal for developers, AI engineers, and data scientists seeking to learn, prepare, and apply AI agent development skills in Azure.
