Agentic coding with GitHub Copilot
Date: 3 December 2026 @ 09:00 - 17:00
Duration: P1DT8H
Language of instruction: English
Are you ready to go beyond simple chat-based coding and unlock the power of structured, agentic workflows? In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to move beyond chat-based coding and design structured, agentic coding workflows. Using GitHub Copilot, you will learn to write effective prompts, leverage LLMs for multi-file coding tasks, and design workflows that plan, act, and iterate safely. You’ll also explore how to evaluate agent outputs, implement guardrails, and address important risks and governance issues. By the end of the training, you'll be able to use LLMs for structured coding tasks, design robust agentic workflows, and enhance productivity in your own projects. The course features a mix of explanations, live demonstrations, and hands-on exercises, giving you the opportunity to apply LLMs to real-world coding challenges.To follow along effectively with this course and do the exercises, you need to have a license for GitHub Copilot. Tip: Students and teachers can apply for a free Pro license through GitHub Education.
