AI-Assisted Software Engineering with Claude Code Training Course

A two-day programme designed for developers who are already utilising AI coding tools like Cursor, Claude Code, or Copilot. It focuses on delegating end-to-end tasks to agents, constructing a personalisation stack (including Rules, AGENTS.md, Skills, MCP, and Agents), connecting and building MCP servers, executing agents in parallel, and implementing structured agentic workflows. The content is tool-agnostic and builds upon the Foundations course.

This two-day foundational course introduces AI-assisted software development to newcomers, including those with little or no coding experience. It explores how these tools function, how to guide them using prompts, and how to apply them to common scenarios such as building a small project from scratch, working within an existing codebase, and reviewing outputs. The content is tool-agnostic, applicable to Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, and similar platforms. It serves as a prerequisite for the Agentic AI Development: Advanced Workflows course.

Browser agents can read web pages, compare vendors, and fill in forms on behalf of the user. This one-day course covers ChatGPT Agent and Atlas, Claude in Chrome, and Perplexity Comet, focusing on suitable tasks and risks, such as hidden instructions on web pages. Participants will delegate two tasks, verify the results, and define rules for the team.

This live, instructor-led training in New Zealand is aimed at specialist users, assistants, and researchers who want to delegate recurring work on web pages and in web applications to AI agents.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand how browser agents read pages, navigate, and fill in forms
• Compare and classify ChatGPT Agent and Atlas, Claude in Chrome, and Perplexity Comet
• Select suitable tasks such as research, comparisons, and form work
• Formulate assignments with clear goals, limits, and approval points
• Recognize and limit risks, such as hidden instructions on web pages
• Define rules for team usage

Course Format

• Duration: 1 day (7 hours)
• Interactive training with a trainer, including discussions and hands-on exercises on participants' own use cases
• Day 1 Outcome: Each participant will have delegated two tasks to a browser agent, verified the results, and defined rules for team usage
