AI Agents: Complete Beginner's Guide Specialization is a paid beginner course from LearnQuest, online. It takes about 11 hours and ends with a professional certificate.
LearnQuest doesn't say the price.
For non-technical professionals who want to go from 'what is an agent' to building no-code automations for email and calendars, with governance at the end. What stands out: it ends with evaluation and safety as well as building. The caveats: LearnQuest is a training company rather than a well-known AI lab, the price isn't shown, and Coursera's time estimates conflict (about 11 hours of course time against a pace of four weeks at 10 hours). For a free 90-minute start, try Agents and Workflows from OpenAI Academy.
Three-course Coursera series for non-technical professionals: identify high-value AI agent use cases and map workflows, build no-code agents that automate calendar, email and productivity tasks, then evaluate, govern and scale them with safety, quality and business metrics. No programming needed.
