Overview
Course Description
In this course, you’ll learn to use the Google Agent Development Kit to build complex, multi-agent systems. You will build agents equipped with tools, and connect them with parent-child relationships and flows to define how they interact. You’ll run your agents locally and deploy them to Vertex AI Agent Engine to run as a managed agentic flow, with infrastructure decisions and resource scaling handled by Agent Engine.

Thorough explanations by the instructor along guide and practical training sim of software.
The format of the class was concise. I learned new skills to use at my workplace.
ExitCertified gave a great course on AWS that covered all of the basics in depth with good lab materials.
Fantastic and great training. Tons of hands-on labs to really make you understand the material being thought.
