Building Reliable Agents with LangSmith is a free course from LangChain, online. LangChain doesn't say how long it takes or whether there is a certificate.
We rate it intermediate level; the provider doesn't say.
Suits developers who have a working agent and need it to behave reliably before it goes to users. It is free and on LangChain's prerequisite list for the Certified Agent Engineer exam, whose testing domain is a quarter of the exam. The main caveat is that it teaches evaluation through LangSmith only, and the page states no length or level. A related free course from the same academy is Monitoring Production Agents.
Free LangChain Academy course on taking an agent from first run to a production-ready system through repeated cycles of improvement, using LangSmith to observe, trace and evaluate it. Lessons cover observability, tracing, analysing agent behaviour and evaluating agents. A prerequisite for the LangChain Certified Agent Engineer exam.
