Who it is for

For .NET developers and architects who have to take multi-agent systems into production or who are aiming at exam AI-500 and already know AI-103.

Prerequisites

The AI-103 course (at least modules I1 and I2) and the AI track (at least T6 to T10) or equivalent experience, plus K3 (Bicep, managed identity, CI/CD) and K4 (decision records). You need an Azure account only for the optional steps. The exam expects Python experience and names LangGraph: the course teaches .NET and only reads Python.

Afterward, you can

  • Break a goal into workflows, agents, tools, personas and autonomy levels and design protocols, memory and state for it
  • Build agent teams with the Microsoft Agent Framework: orchestration patterns, MCP servers, approvals, caching and scaling
  • Shape prompts, context, memory and knowledge for several agents
  • Evaluate and monitor agent teams and steer their usage and cost
  • Design identity, secrets, guardrails and tests for an agent system
  • Ship an agent system across environments with canary, blue/green and rollback

Final project: the Kladde

What the Kladde can do after this course

No further work on the Kladde but a final project: the group-travel team of the made-up Nordlicht Reisen GmbH as a decision folder with an architecture overview and a Bicep sketch, compiled and not deployed.

At the end you have designed every area of the exam on one continuous case and built or sketched it in .NET, and assembled a decision folder. You check the final project yourself against a list.

Certifications

An offer, never a requirement: these Microsoft exams fit this stage. You take them at Microsoft; we are not a Microsoft training partner.

The course follows the topics Microsoft lists in the study guide of exam AI-500 (the list carries no date; read on Microsoft Learn on November 12, 2026) and replaces neither Microsoft's material nor exam preparation. Whether the exam is already regularly offered is open: check its status with Microsoft. The exam is offered in English only and expects Python experience; the course teaches .NET. You take the exam with Microsoft; registration, price and dates are there.
