AI AGENTS - Master Class
Become an "Agent Manager" in half a day. The era of simple chatbots is over. Where generative AI merely responds, Agentic AI perceives, reasons, and autonomously executes complex tasks. In 3.5 intensive hours (60% theory / 40% practice), go from user to architect of autonomous solutions. What you will master: The technological breakthrough (understand the fundamental difference between an Assistant who knows and an Agent who acts), cognitive architecture (learn to build the "brain" of an agent via the Perception → Reasoning → Action loop and the use of external tools), real practice (design and deploy an agent on a concrete use case), industrial reliability (master the strategies to avoid hallucinations and infinite loops to secure your processes).
What you will learn
- Distinguish Generative AI from Agentic AI, from automated to autonomous.
- Distinguish AI Assistants from AI Agents and understand their respective capabilities.
- Master the "Perception, Reasoning, Action" cycle for designing AI agents.
- Identify the maturity levels of Agentic AI and their concrete applications.
- Structure an agentic use case, from use case definition to deployment and monitoring.
- Anticipate the benefits, risks, and key success factors related to deploying AI agents in the enterprise.
Prerequisites
- Knowledge of the fundamental concepts of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning is a plus.
- Having the equivalent level of content provided by an "Introduction to Generative AI" type training.
- A computer with internet access.
Target audience
- Business & IT managers, Digital Directors, Data Directors and Product Managers looking to steer their projects and business towards AI and/or manage native agentic products, Professionals with initial exposure to AI or machine learning who want to master the concepts of agentic AI

Quality Process
SFEIR Institute's commitment: an excellence approach to ensure the quality and success of all our training programs. Learn more about our quality approach
- Lectures / Theoretical Slides — Presentation of concepts using visual aids (PowerPoint, PDF).
- Technical Demonstration (Demos) — The instructor performs a task or procedure while students observe.
- Quiz / MCQ — Quick knowledge check (paper-based or digital via tools like Kahoot/Klaxoon).
The achievement of training objectives is evaluated at multiple levels to ensure quality:
- Continuous Knowledge Assessment : Verification of knowledge throughout the training via participatory methods (quizzes, practical exercises, case studies) under instructor supervision.
- Progress Measurement : Comparative self-assessment system including an initial diagnostic to determine the starting level, followed by a final evaluation to validate skills development.
- Quality Evaluation : End-of-session satisfaction questionnaire to measure the relevance and effectiveness of the training as perceived by participants.
Train multiple employees
- Volume discounts (multiple seats)
- Private or custom session
- On-site or remote
