Agentic Coding with ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude, Copilot

AI coding tools are already entering development workflows, often faster than IT Directors can standardize usage. This beginner-level course gives development, automation, QA, and engineering teams a shared baseline for using ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Cursor AI, and Claude Code in coding workflows without treating AI output as a replacement for normal review and governance.

The course is a practical fit for teams piloting AI-assisted development or onboarding practitioners who need common vocabulary around prompt engineering, agentic programming, and IDE-based AI coding support. The time investment is under five hours per learner, making it realistic for sprint-adjacent enablement or a focused team rollout. For change management, Team Leads can use the ordered modules to move from AI fundamentals and coding prompts into tool-specific practice across ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor, and Cursor with Claude Code. CBT Nuggets Playlists can help standardize assignment by role, while Team Reporting helps Training Managers track completion across the rollout.

IT teams complete this training to make AI-assisted coding more consistent across tools and contributors. Instead of each developer experimenting independently, the team builds a common approach to prompting, agentic workflows, and tool selection.

• Establish a shared foundation for exploring AI programmatically before applying it to development work.
• Improve consistency in code-related prompts so practitioners can ask for useful output, refinement, and explanation.
• Support real workflow adoption across ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Cursor AI, and Claude Code rather than relying on a single tool.
• Help Team Leads guide pilots for AI-assisted programming with clearer expectations around where these tools fit in development workflows.
