Three months that take you from your first line of Python to an autonomous agent running in public, with citations, guardrails and a cost-per-conversation figure behind it. No programming experience needed.
A language model answers a question. An agent decides what to do next — it plans, calls real tools, reads what came back, and repeats until the goal is met. This 3-month course teaches you to build, test and deploy these AI agents from scratch.
Key Highlights
A language model answers a question. An agent decides what to do next — it plans, calls real tools, reads what came back, and repeats until the goal is met. This 3-month course teaches you to build, test and deploy these AI agents from scratch. The course starts from the very basics — Python, the command line, Git, HTTP and databases — so no prior coding experience is needed. Once the foundations are clear, you move straight into agent engineering: prompting, tool calling, retrieval, memory and deployment. Every topic ends with a project you actually build.
Every module ends in something you have built and a trainer has reviewed, so the list below is work you will have done rather than topics you will have heard about.
Python, Git, HTTP and SQL before a single prompt
The syllabus is arranged so every module produces an asset rather than a set of notes. You will cover month 1 — foundations: python, llm prompting & tool calling, month 2 — rag, memory & agent frameworks, month 3 — evaluation, guardrails, deployment & capstone, and finish with a live project built on Python, Git & GitHub, FastAPI. Modules run in the order a real project runs: foundations first, then the core skills, then applied work under supervision, then the portfolio and interview preparation that turn all of it into an offer letter.
The working knowledge the job description actually lists.
Month 2 — RAG, Memory & Agent Frameworks
Grounding answers in real documents, carrying state across sessions, and reading what a framework does for you.

The toolchain
Everything below is installed on the lab machines and used on live client work, not shown once in a slide and forgotten.
Join from any stream. There is no assumed technical knowledge and no programming prerequisite. Most students run the programme alongside a degree at a Phagwara college using the weekday or weekend batch.
If you are finishing a BCA, B.Sc, BBA or B.Tech, this is the shortest route from degree to an AI automation role. You enter placement season with a deployed agent and an evaluation report instead of a blank CV.
The weekend batch exists for people already earning. Three months is enough to become interview-ready for AI Automation Engineer and Agentic AI Developer roles without leaving your current job.
If you already write code or work with data, the foundations part is revision and the pace picks up quickly. What changes your title is the part most self-taught developers skip — evaluation, guardrails and cost.
Someone has to decide which problems need an agent, wire the tools so they cannot be misused, ground the answers in real documents, and prove the whole thing works with numbers before it touches a customer — and almost nobody in this market can do all four. That gap is the whole argument for this course: there is local demand, there are budgets, and there are very few trained people to hand the work to.

Build skills that hold up beyond the classroom.
What separates this from a playlist of tutorials is supervision on real work. From the second half of the course you build on live client projects with a trainer beside you, make decisions that have consequences, and correct them the following week. That loop is the skill. No employer in Phagwara will take your word for it without work they can inspect.
Be realistic about the money. A fresher who finishes with a working portfolio starts near the bottom of the band and moves quickly; someone who finishes with a certificate and nothing to show does not. The difference is entirely what you built.
The alternative is what most people try first: free videos, a cheap online course, six months of drifting, and knowledge you cannot demonstrate. A structured programme with live projects, a mentor who corrects you, an internship letter and a placement cell that actually calls employers is the difference between knowing the subject and being hired to do it.
Students reach the Phagwara centre from Banga, Nakodar, Kartarpur and the university belt, and the weekend batch exists so a job or a degree does not have to be paused to attend.
The course starts with Python, Git, HTTP and SQL. Every agent pattern after that is something you can reason about rather than copy, because you already understand the request, the schema and the commit graph underneath it.
You build the ReAct loop from scratch before using any framework. When frameworks like LangGraph arrive later, you can read what they are doing — which is the difference between using a tool and being trapped by it.
Anyone can demo an agent that works once. A labelled evaluation set, a measured before-and-after and a cost-per-task number are what actually get people hired.
This 3-month course is the foundation of the 6-month and 9-month tracks. Nothing is removed when you extend later; the next track begins exactly where this one ends, so you never restart.

Complete the course with a portfolio of live projects and receive an industry-recognised certificate, plus a documented internship letter accepted by Punjab universities.
Recognised by employers across Punjab and beyond
Based on real client work, not a simulation
Live work you can show in any interview
CV review, mock interviews and hiring drives
Two certificates on completion — the course certificate and a separate capstone project certificate.
The roles this opens, what they pay in Punjab and beyond, and who is hiring for them — drawn from published job-market listings, not a brochure number.
Entry level, and the most common first destination after this course. Interviews test whether you can wire tools reliably, handle failures gracefully and show a working deployed demo. Show the MCP server, the cited RAG assistant and the deployed capstone.
Early career. Interviews test framework fluency, RAG quality debugging and human-in-the-loop design. Show the approval-gated graph agent, the extraction engine and the eval CI gate.
The role that sits between the customer and the build. You demonstrate agents, scope what is feasible and prototype it — which is exactly the shape of the six projects you build here.
Day-two work on a live agent: reading traces, triaging failed tool calls, curating evaluation sets from real traffic and escalating what the guardrails caught. Every one of those skills is covered in this course.
Salary outlook — AI Automation Engineer
Builds, evaluates and deploys agents that take real actions. Agent work carries more remote and freelance opportunity than most fields, since the systems are not in the room.
Indicative ranges compiled from public job-market listings. Actual offers vary by employer, skillset and interview performance.
A FastAPI service backed by Postgres, typed and tested, shipped in Docker with CI running on every push.
Unstructured invoices and contracts converted into schema-valid JSON with under 2% validation failure across 100 documents.
Five or more scoped tools with full schema documentation, integration tests and a hand-written ReAct loop that uses them without a framework.
A hybrid-search RAG assistant with clause-level citations, scoring 0.85+ faithfulness on a 50-question gold set.
A stateful graph agent that pauses for sign-off, streams every step, and resumes cleanly after a crash.
A publicly reachable capstone with CRM write-back, human escalation, a CI regression gate and a cost-per-conversation figure.
Every project moves through the same loop: understand the brief, build with guidance, then explain the decisions behind your work.
Take a real requirement apart before touching a tool — what is being asked, what it needs, and which part to build first.
Containerised API Service
Work hands-on with your trainer watching the screen, so a wrong turn is caught in the same session rather than three weeks later.
Document Extraction Engine
Walk through what you built and why you built it that way. This is the interview rehearsal, run against every project rather than once at the end.
Published MCP Server
There are many places to learn this in Phagwara and the brochure syllabus looks similar at all of them. What differs is who teaches, whether you ever touch real work, and whether anyone picks up the phone after you have paid. techcadd has trained students across Punjab since 2007 on the same model: small batches, working practitioners as trainers, client projects as coursework.
You advance when a deliverable passes review. A student who needs extra time on retrieval gets it; nobody is moved on just because the timetable says so.
Labs run against live Claude, OpenAI and Gemini endpoints with per-student token budgets and cost dashboards — so the cost awareness is something you have felt, not just read about.
The people teaching MCP servers and LangGraph checkpointing are the people writing them for client work, which is why the failure sections cover failures that actually happen.
Finish here with a certificate and a deployed capstone, or continue into the six- and nine-month tracks later. The next track starts where this one ended — you never repeat what you have already passed.
Find answers to the questions students ask before enrolling.
Three months, divided into three clear blocks — foundations, frameworks and deployment. Weekday, evening and weekend batches cover the same syllabus, and 1-on-1 training is available if you would rather set your own pace. Every class runs for 2 hours, whichever format you choose.
