AI-Assisted Software Engineering with Claude Code Training Course

A two-day training programme designed for developers who already utilise AI coding tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, or Copilot. The course explores delegating comprehensive tasks to agents, constructing the personalisation stack (Rules, AGENTS.md, Skills, MCP, Agents), connecting and developing MCP servers, executing agents in parallel, and implementing structured agentic workflows. The content is tool-agnostic and serves as a continuation of the Foundations course.

Designed for those new to AI-assisted development, including those with limited coding experience, this two-day introduction covers the core mechanics of these tools and how to direct them through effective prompting. Participants will apply these skills to practical scenarios, such as building a small project from scratch, working within an existing codebase, and reviewing the final results. The content is tool-agnostic, making it applicable to Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, and similar platforms. This course serves as the foundation for the Agentic AI Development: Advanced Workflows module.

Browser agents have the capability to browse web pages, evaluate vendors and complete forms autonomously on a user’s behalf. This one-day course examines ChatGPT Agent and Atlas, Claude in Chrome and Perplexity Comet, focusing on appropriate use cases and potential risks, including the threat of hidden instructions embedded within web content. During the session, participants will delegate two distinct tasks, validate the outcomes and establish internal guidelines for team adoption.

This instructor-led, live training in South Africa is designed for: Specialist users, assistants and researchers seeking to offload repetitive web page and web application tasks to AI agents.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Comprehend the mechanics of how browser agents parse pages, interact via clicks and populate forms
• Distinguish between ChatGPT Agent and Atlas, Claude in Chrome and Perplexity Comet
• Identify suitable applications such as research, vendor comparisons and form processing
• Craft instructions that clearly define goals, boundaries and required approval checkpoints
• Identify and mitigate risks, particularly those arising from hidden instructions on web pages
• Establish standard operating procedures for team-wide use

Course Format

• Duration: 1 day (7 hours)
• Interactive sessions led by a trainer, featuring discussions and hands-on exercises tailored to participants' specific use cases
• Outcome, Day 1: Each participant will have successfully delegated two tasks to a browser agent, verified the results and drafted team usage rules.
