"Prompt Engineering" certs are a joke. So we built a FREE Agentic AI Practitioner Exam that actually forces you to build working swarms to pass.

Hey Everyone,

If you look at the AI education space right now, it’s flooded with basic "Prompt Engineering" certificates that you can pass just by knowing what a system prompt is. But as anyone building in production knows, chatting with an LLM is 1% of the work. The real nightmare is orchestration, state management, tool execution, and guardrails.

To create a real benchmark for developers, we just launched the Agentic AI Practitioner Exam on agentswarms.fyi. And it is completely free.

Why this isn’t a standard certification: You cannot guess your way through this. To get the certification, you have to pass two phases:

1. The Theory (50 MCQs): Covering the actual hard stuff. (e.g., Memory STM windowing, Text-to-SQL AST validation, A2A handoffs, and production tracing/evals). You need an 80% to pass.
2. The Hands-On Evaluation: This is the gauntlet. The system physically evaluates your sandbox environment. You must successfully build and deploy 5 working agents and 2 multi-agent swarms from scratch (using templates results in an automatic fail).

What the curriculum covers:

• All 7 Agentic Patterns: (ReAct, planner-executor, reflection, routing, parallel, HITL, RAG)
• Production Guardrails: (PII filtering, prompt injection defense, schema validation)
• Multi-Agent Swarms: (Orchestrator, peer-to-peer, and agent-to-agent handoffs)
• Responsible AI: (NIST AI RMF & EU AI Act compliance)

If you fail, there is a 15-day cooldown, and your next attempt will draw from a completely different set of questions. If you want to get another early attempt, you can contribute to the community by publishing your agents and swarms and get free re-attempts!

If you think you know how to build autonomous agents, I challenge you to take the exam and try to pass on your first attempt. Let me know which section of the exam feels the hardest!
