He does a great job of expanding the material while staying grounded to ensure that folks who don't know much about AI can have something to hold onto while learning new things.

By Keith Lankford on 6/12/2026

Super comprehensive and lots of valuable suggestions for tooling. The course moves very quickly so there's a need to rewind to absorb it all. The role plays are somewhat repetitive. Over all - very good material and presentation here.

By Mriganka Purkayastha on 6/7/2026

The course content and structure is excellent and engaging for a beginner like me. Explanations given, examples cited, and frameworks shared are very valuable resources to implement in actual projects. Looking forward to more such trainings.

By George Lewis on 5/30/2026

The course is very informative by including current Agentic AI issues. I especially liked the inclusion of OpenClaw in the training since I have been researching it. The trainer also presents the information in a way that is easy to follow.

By Darko Grujovic on 5/11/2026

It was good match for me, considering a pace, a level of details and assumed knowledge. A recommendation for improvement is that it could be a little less slides with multiple repeated lists items - there is a room for an optimization in that way.

By Lutendo Ramanala on 5/11/2026

I am truly enjoying the course and finding it both insightful and practical. In my current role as a Complaints Consultant, I actively use AI tools to summarize cases, analyze data, and refine statements into a more formal and professional tone. On a personal level, I am also a content creator, where I leverage AI to generate images, videos, and music. This course has significantly broadened my understanding of what AI can achieve—especially Agentic AI. I find it fascinating how these systems can perceive, think, act, and learn with minimal human input, functioning in ways that closely resemble human behavior. Overall, the experience has been eye-opening and has deepened my appreciation for the growing capabilities of AI.

No deja terminar el curso... ya presenté el examen y de todas formas dice que estoy a 28 de 31..... la actividad de roles no la deja tomar por que no tengo acceso no sé que aplique en este caso.

By Michael Lee Anderson on 3/30/2026

"As someone new to AI looking to navigate the Openclaw hype, I knew I needed to understand the security implications first. This class was an eye-opener! It provided the perfect balance of technical knowledge and security awareness, making me feel much more confident moving forward. Highly recommended."

By Pravin Kumar Singh on 2/17/2026

Marvellous, I gained lots of information and knowledge that I was looking for. Your trainings have helped in understand the things I was shying away from.. This training and the other "NIST - Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Framework", elaborated explanation with use cases was indeed helpful.

By Benjamin Luera on 1/21/2026

Great content, great instructor but like most training vendors, slide deck is not included. My company realized years ago that the training falls short if our employees do not have anything to refer to in the future. You made a point to mention at the beginning of the course that we needed to use the knowledge to receive the most benefit, so I do not understand the gap in providing the original slide deck as a resource as a protected PDF.
