Go beyond chatbots. Build autonomous AI agents.
The Advanced Certificate in Agentic AI Coding & Architecting teaches you to design, build and deploy AI agents and agentic systems — not just prompts. Hands-on, project-led, and delivered at Tertiary Infotech Academy, a Singapore Private Education Institution. Open to international students and career switchers.
From first prompt to a production AI agent.
Five modules build on each other — foundations, agentic patterns, retrieval, production architecture, and a capstone you ship and demo.
- Module 1
LLM & Prompt Engineering Foundations
Understand how large language models work, their strengths and failure modes, and how to steer them. Master structured prompting, system instructions, output formatting and reasoning patterns — the groundwork every agent builds on.
- Module 2
Agentic Patterns — Tool Use & Orchestration
Move from single prompts to autonomous behaviour: tool use, function calling, planning-and-acting loops, and multi-agent orchestration where specialised agents collaborate to complete complex, multi-step tasks.
- Module 3
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) & Context Engineering
Ground agents in real knowledge. Build retrieval pipelines with vector databases, design effective chunking and embeddings, and engineer context windows so your agents answer from authoritative sources rather than guessing.
- Module 4
Architecting & Deploying Production AI Agents
Take agents from notebook to production — evaluation harnesses, guardrails and safety, observability, and standardised tool integration (including the Model Context Protocol, MCP). Learn the architecture decisions that keep agentic systems reliable at scale.
- Module 5
Hands-on Capstone — Ship a Working Agent
Apply everything end-to-end. You scope, build, evaluate and demo a working multi-step AI agent that uses tools and retrieval to solve a real problem — a portfolio piece you can show employers.
Programme outcomes.
By the end of the Advanced Certificate, you won't just understand AI agents — you'll have built and deployed one.
- ✓Explain how LLMs and agentic systems work — and where each is the right tool
- ✓Design agentic workflows using tool use, function calling and planning loops
- ✓Orchestrate multiple agents to tackle complex, multi-step problems
- ✓Build retrieval pipelines with vector databases and RAG for grounded answers
- ✓Apply evaluation, guardrails and observability to keep agents safe and reliable
- ✓Architect and deploy a production-ready AI agent, end-to-end
Built for ambitious learners — from anywhere.
Fresh international graduates
Recent computing, engineering or science graduates who want a focused, job-relevant specialisation in building AI agents — and a recognised Singapore credential.
Career switchers abroad
Working professionals overseas pivoting into AI engineering. If you have some coding exposure and want a structured, hands-on path into agentic AI, this is for you.
Students seeking a Singapore pathway
International students who want to study in Singapore — a leading Asian tech hub — and build a portfolio while exploring post-study and stay options.
Employer-sponsored staff
Teams upskilling engineers to design and deploy AI agents in-house. Sponsorship and group enrolment are welcome — speak to a course advisor.
The agentic AI toolkit.
The course is vendor-neutral and concept-first. You learn transferable skills and patterns that apply across the agentic AI ecosystem, so your knowledge isn't tied to any single platform.
Roles that need people who can build agents.
Organisations everywhere are racing to put AI agents into production — and they need engineers who can design, build and deploy them responsibly.
AI Engineer
Build LLM-powered features and pipelines — prompting, retrieval, tool integration and evaluation — across products and platforms.
Agentic AI Developer
Specialise in autonomous agents: planning loops, multi-agent orchestration and tool-using systems that automate complex workflows.
AI Solutions Architect
Design end-to-end agentic systems — architecture, guardrails, integration and deployment — that organisations can trust in production.
[ Roles reflect general industry demand for agentic AI skills. We do not guarantee employment, salary or specific outcomes. ]
Common questions before you enrol.
What are the prerequisites — do I need to be a strong programmer?+
Some coding experience is helpful, particularly basic Python, as the hands-on work involves writing code. You do not need to be an expert or to have built AI systems before. If you're unsure whether your background is a good fit, talk to a course advisor and we'll guide you honestly.
When are the intakes and how long is the programme?+
We run intakes periodically across the year, with both shorter intensive and part-time study options. Exact intake dates and duration depend on the schedule you choose — request the latest intake calendar from a course advisor and we'll match you to the next suitable start date.
How much are the fees?+
Fees vary by intake, study mode and your eligibility for any applicable support. We don't publish a single fixed figure here — please request the latest fee schedule from a course advisor and we'll send you the current pricing and payment options.
What are the career outcomes and is there a Singapore post-study pathway?+
Graduates target roles such as AI Engineer, Agentic AI Developer and AI Solutions Architect, where demand for people who can build and deploy AI agents continues to grow. As a Singapore Private Education Institution, we can explain the study experience and outline the relevant post-study and stay considerations during your enquiry — actual immigration outcomes are determined by the Singapore authorities.
Is the course online or onsite?+
We offer onsite delivery at our Woods Square campus in Singapore, and we can advise on flexible and online options for international learners depending on the intake. Tell a course advisor your situation and we'll recommend the best mode for you.
