6-Week Training & Certification Course
Mastering the Microsoft Agent Framework: Building Enterprise-Ready AI Agents with Microsoft Foundry

October 6 – November 10, 2026

Level: Intermediate

Turn AI Innovation into Enterprise Impact — Hands-On, Real-World AI Engineering for the Modern Microsoft Ecosystem

The future of enterprise AI is here — and Microsoft’s Agent Framework is at the center of it. This 6-week intensive program brings together the power of Agent Framework, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, and Microsoft Foundry to show you exactly how today’s leading organizations are operationalizing intelligent, autonomous systems across the Microsoft tech stack.

This isn’t theory — it’s practical AI engineering, built for professionals who want to design, build, and deploy AI agents that think, reason, and act.

Why This Course is a Must-Attend

  1. 1 Aligned with the Fastest-Growing AI Trend
    Agentic AI — systems that can plan, reason, and execute autonomously — is transforming how enterprises innovate. Microsoft’s AI Framework, combining Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, and Microsoft Foundry, is setting the standard for this revolution.

    You’ll gain insider understanding of how Microsoft’s tools work together to bring real intelligence to enterprise applications.

  2. 2 100% Hands-On, Market-Ready Skills
    This isn’t a lecture series — it’s a build series. You’ll get your hands dirty creating real AI agents and connecting them to Microsoft’s ecosystem:

    • Develop and deploy an autonomous AI agent using Microsoft AI Framework
    • Integrate Azure OpenAI, Cognitive Search, and Cognitive Services into real business workflows
    • Use Microsoft Foundry to orchestrate, monitor, and scale your agents
    • Connect to Cosmos DB or PostgreSQL for powerful vector-based memory
    • Walk away with the kind of project portfolio companies are hiring for right now.

  3. 3 Certification That Stands Out
    Upon completing the full 6-week program, you’ll earn the Enterprise AI Developer – Microsoft Stack Certification, issued by Live! 360 Events. This credential validates your ability to design, build, and deploy enterprise-ready AI agents using Microsoft’s AI Framework, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, Microsoft Foundry, and the broader Azure ecosystem.

    This certification demonstrates to employers and stakeholders that you possess hands-on, practical AI engineering skills — not just theoretical understanding. It’s a career-advancing credential that signals your readiness to build real autonomous systems within the Microsoft stack.

    This isn’t just another course — it’s your next career accelerator.
