Microsoft Introduction to Building AI Agents (MS-4014)

Code: msms4014

What you'll learn

Curious about building AI agents, but not sure where to start? Microsoft’s practical Introduction to Building AI Agents covers how AI agents work, what tools and services Microsoft offers for building them, and how to plan an agent solution before you start building. You'll explore what agents are and the business value they unlock, tour Microsoft's agent platform—including Copilot Studio, Microsoft Foundry, and the Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit—and learn how to choose the right development approach, channels, grounding services, integrations, and governance posture for your scenario. After completing this course, you'll be prepared to translate a business problem into a complete agent design and development plan.

At Firebrand, we are one of the few companies in the world to be designated a Microsoft Cloud Partner. Through our Lecture | Lab | Review method, you’ll access official courseware, learn from certified instructors, and train in a distraction-free environment.

Audience

This course is designed for builders and developers who want to build AI agents on Microsoft's agent platform. It's ideal for learners who are new to agent development or evaluating Microsoft's options, and who want to understand how to choose the right tools, ground and connect agents to their data and systems, and plan an agent solution end to end.

Learners come from both low-code and pro-code backgrounds; no prior agent development experience is required.

Yes, we do provide courses suitable for beginners. However, Firebrand's accelerated courses aren't easy and it's essential that you are interested and actively pursuing a career in IT.

Traditional training providers usually run their courses from 9am to 5pm. At Firebrand Training we maximise the number of learning hours to minimise the number of training days, so you’ll be back to your job as quickly as possible. You don’t waste time travelling to several courses and finding an exam centre after that.

Firebrand's accelerated courses are constantly reviewed. We ask our delegates for feedback after every course. We are official partners with leading vendors and therefore, we're provided with certification changes and updates, which we can then implement in our course delivery at a very early stage. This feedback is then analysed in view of changes or discrepancies. We will then address the topics mentioned and have a panel of subject matter experts provide us with valuable suggestions for improvement and solutions.

If you need to learn new skills and you want to be able to put them into practice quickly, then Firebrand is the right training company for you.

Our unique accelerated training method means that we are your fastest way to learn. By delivering training for up to 12 hours per day, seven days per week, with exam centres on-site, we ensure that you are trained and certified quicker than anywhere else, having spent less time out of the office away from the day job.
