GitHub Copilot Training - Master the AI Assistant in 1.5 Days

This intensive intermediate-level training is specifically designed for Ops and System Engineer profiles wishing to make the leap from scripting to AI-assisted development. In a constantly evolving technological ecosystem, GitHub Copilot stands out as an essential lever to accelerate code writing and reduce repetitive, low-value-added tasks. During this practical workshop, you will learn to master this generative AI-based assistant, capable of suggesting code in real-time and adapting to your context. You will discover how to structure your prompts to generate robust Python scripts (logs, metrics) and automate your deployments via Ansible. More than just an autocompletion tool, you will learn to use Copilot as a true partner to refactor, document, and secure your code, while maintaining a critical eye on the provided suggestions.

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).

Teaching Methods Used
  • 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).
Evaluation and Monitoring System

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.
