How VNode delivers this
Who this is for, and how we run it
VNode ITeS delivers AI Agent Builder Associate as an MCT-led Microsoft program for AI Agent Builder. Typical duration is 3 days (Virtual, On-site, or Hybrid). Labs follow production-shaped scenarios rather than slide-only walkthroughs. Certification prep maps to AB-620 without turning the week into a dump of Learn modules. Private cohorts can shift emphasis by role mix, workspace or repo constraints, and rollout timing.
Audience Profile
Built for these roles
This course is designed for advanced builders and professional developers who want to design, extend, and integrate Copilot Studio agents. Your goal is to automate real business processes by connecting agents to enterprise data, systems, and services—while applying sound design, security, governance, and responsible AI practices. You should already have hands‑on experience building agents in Copilot Studio, an intermediate understanding of generative AI concepts, proficiency working with REST APIs, and familiarity with the broader Microsoft cloud platform.
