  • 10-week live online program targets mid-to-senior product managers and tech leaders to master agentic AI system design and deployment.
  • Curriculum covers planning systems, agent coordination, multi-agent architectures, communication protocols, prompt engineering, and Azure-based agent development.
  • Includes 40+ demos, 10+ guided practices, seven projects, and a production-ready capstone using 25+ industry tools and frameworks.
  • Features dedicated module on building AI agents on Microsoft Azure with focus on security, scalable orchestration, and compliance.
  • Learners earn a joint certificate from Microsoft and Simplilearn, Microsoft Learn badges, and access to career services including AI-powered profile optimization, mock interviews, and mentoring.
  • 88% of enterprises plan to increase AI budgets by May 2026, with 67% expecting autonomous decision-making from AI workflows by 2027.
  • Program requires 6–8 hours per week commitment with continuous cohort support and peer collaboration.

As enterprises transition from experimental AI to autonomous, multi-agent systems that plan, reason, and execute complex workflows independently, the talent shortage for architects who can deliver scalable, production-ready solutions has become a critical bottleneck. This program combines Microsoft's AI technology leadership with Simplilearn's practical training model to close that gap through applied, hands-on learning.

Bridging the Agentic AI Talent Gap The curriculum progresses from foundational concepts to advanced implementation, emphasizing real-world deployment scenarios. Participants gain proficiency in agentic frameworks, multi-agent coordination, and secure orchestration on Microsoft Azure, ensuring systems are trustworthy, compliant, and aligned with business objectives. The capstone project challenges learners to build production-grade agents, while career support helps translate newly acquired skills into professional advancement.

Industry-Relevant Structure and Outcomes Led by industry practitioners and Microsoft Certified Trainers, the program delivers continuous guidance and peer interaction. Learners complete multiple projects and master tools across the agentic AI lifecycle, positioning them to lead enterprise transformations where AI agents drive independent action and measurable productivity gains.

"Agentic AI represents a significant shift in how organisations design intelligent systems, moving from static tools to autonomous agents capable of decision-making and execution. As enterprises scale these systems, the shortage of professionals who can architect and lead agentic AI initiatives has become increasingly evident. Through our work with Microsoft, this program combines hands-on learning with real-world deployment scenarios, enabling product and technology leaders to build practical expertise that directly supports enterprise transformation," said Kashyap Dalal, Co-founder and COO, Simplilearn.

"We are excited to work with Simplilearn to launch this program. As organizations accelerate the adoption of agentic AI, demand for talent combining technical expertise with system design, governance, and responsible AI practices continues to grow. Through this collaboration, we aim to support professionals in developing applied skills across agent orchestration, multi-agent systems, and enterprise deployment. Programs like Applied Agentic AI play an important role in preparing the workforce to build AI solutions that are scalable, trustworthy, and aligned with real business needs," said Geoff Hirsch, Head of Channel, Microsoft Global Skilling.
