- Deploy, monitor, and maintain agents in live business environments, applying guardrails and professional standards.
Course Outline
What You’ll Learn

Want a portfolio & career placement?
Pair this course with an Equinet Career Programme
This course builds your capability and certifies you. It does not include a project-based capstone, client placement, or career coaching. Our Career Programmes are built for that: three months on a real project brief, your own product idea or a host organisation, with dedicated career support and mentorship throughout.
Many graduates take both: the course for the certification and capability, a Career Programme for the portfolio case study and placement. Speak to a course consultant about the combined pathway.

Course Fee and Funding
Fund Your Brain Gain
This is a SkillsFuture-funded course. The full course fee is S$999.00. Your nett fee depends on your citizenship, age, and whether you are sponsored by an SME employer. Additional offsets like SkillsFuture Credit, PSEA, and SFEC can stack on top of your nett fee.
1. SSG SUBSIDY TIERS
Pick the row that describes you. Subsidies are applied at registration;Â no separate application is needed.
| Who you are | Subsidy | Nett fee |
|---|---|---|
| Singapore Citizen aged 40 and above, self-sponsored or employer-sponsored (Non-SME)MCES (MID-CAREER ENHANCED SUBSIDY) | Baseline 50% + MCES 20% = 70% total | S$299.70save S$699.30 |
| Singapore Citizen, PR, or LTVP+ Holder sponsored by an SME employerETSS (ENHANCED TRAINING SUPPORT FOR SMES) | Baseline 50% + ETSS 20% = 70% total | S$299.70save S$699.30 |
| Singapore Citizen, PR, or LTVP+ Holder aged 21 and above, self-sponsored or employer-sponsoredBASELINE FUNDING | Baseline 50% | S$499.50save S$499.50 |
| Foreigner / not eligible for SSG funding | Subsidies not applicable | S$999.00full fee |
Eligibility for ETSS depends on your employer’s SME status (ACRA-registered with annual sales of S$100M or less, or 200 employees or fewer). MCES applies to Singapore Citizens aged 40 and above. You receive whichever subsidy is most favourable, not both.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The Need-to-Know Stuff, Fast
Everything you need to know about the course. Can’t find the answer you’re looking for? Please contact our friendly team.
No. You will build using plain-language instructions, no-code workflow builders, and AI coding assistants that help accelerate the build process. Your role is to define requirements, review solutions, test behaviour, and verify results. No programming background is required.
Agent-supervised development is an approach where you use AI assistants to accelerate building while remaining responsible for requirements, architecture decisions, testing and validation.
Every learner starts with a common project: a Business Request Review Agent that checks incoming requests for completeness, classifies them, retrieves relevant reference criteria, and recommends whether to approve, reject, or request more information, with a human approval checkpoint and an audit record. On Day 2 you extend it into a multi-step workflow with decisions, error handling, and guardrails, and personalise one element to your own business context.
You will deploy and test your agentic workflow in a controlled training environment, supported by testing and monitoring methods and using safe synthetic or public data. It is designed so you can continue improving it after the course.
That is fine. The course starts from the beginning and builds progressively. By the end of Day 1, you will have a working agent running. The pace is designed for first-time builders.
You will need a laptop and accounts on at least one or two of the covered platforms, most of which offer free tiers. A full list of required tools and setup instructions will be sent ahead of the course.
We strongly recommend bringing a personal laptop rather than a company-issued device. Corporate laptops often restrict software installation, account sign-ups, and admin access, which can prevent you from completing the hands-on labs. The course uses standalone training applications with safe synthetic or public data, so no access to your company’s systems or data is needed.
Especially relevant. Understanding what agents can and cannot do before an organisational rollout lets you make informed decisions about where to start, what to avoid and how to set realistic expectations.
Prompt engineering covers how to get better outputs from a single AI interaction. This course is about deploying AI that works autonomously across multiple steps and tools, without a human in the loop for every action.
Yes. The final session is a live build and presentation. Every participant leaves with a working agentic workflow that is built, tested in a controlled environment, and personalised to their own business context, not a theoretical exercise.
