PowerShell Advanced + AI Automation

training code: PS Adv+AI / ENG DL 5d / EN

This course is designed for IT professionals who want to take their automation skills to the next level. Participants will learn advanced PowerShell scripting techniques and discover how to leverage the latest AI integration capabilities to automate tasks and business processes.

A new addition to the training program is a hands-on module dedicated to integrating PowerShell with the Anthropic API. This module enables participants to build custom AI-powered solutions, automate data analysis, generate content, and support decision-making processes.

The PowerShell Advanced Scripting + AI Automation course is a natural continuation of the MS-10961 or AZ-040 training courses and addresses the needs of modern organizations seeking to harness the power of artificial intelligence in the daily work of administrators and developers.

The course also serves as an updated equivalent of the retired authorized training MS-10962 - Advanced Automated Administration with Windows PowerShell, enhanced with AI-related topics and practical applications.

IMPORTANT

Before registering, we encourage you to complete the placement test referenced in the “Expected Participant Preparation” section. The test is intended to assess the participant’s current level of knowledge and skills. The result allows participants to evaluate for themselves whether the course content, as described on the website, matches their current level of expertise.

Important: The course is delivered strictly according to the published syllabus. The pace of instruction and the training agenda are fixed and identical for all participants. Completing the placement test honestly and independently helps avoid situations where the course level or pace differs from the participant’s expectations. Using external assistance or AI tools while taking the test may distort the result and lead to an inaccurate assessment of one’s actual proficiency level.

In summary, selecting the appropriate course level is the participant’s responsibility, and the placement test is a tool designed to facilitate that decision. Choosing not to take the test is entirely at the participant’s discretion; however, this decision may result in the rejection of complaints regarding a mismatch between the course level or pace and the participant’s expectations. Independent completion of the placement test is a prerequisite for submitting such complaints successfully.

Before registering for the course, participants are required to complete the placement test independently and without the use of AI tools:

https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=ABtS1JDyAUOdi_Q4BuSaPW1mhqqA6vlMpdu59WrtmkFUQ0lFV0VLSEJJMkNGTjNJSERISVZEQTRNUCQlQCNjPTEu

To participate fully in the AI module (Agenda Item 9), each participant must create an account on https://platform.claude.com/ and purchase API credits by providing a valid credit card.

Detailed account setup instructions are available here:

https://www.altkomakademia.pl/app/uploads/2026/02/Tworzenie-konta-w-Anthropic-Console.pdf

Failure to create the account before the training will limit the participant's ability to complete the hands-on exercises included in this module. In such cases, the participant will only be able to attend the theoretical portion of Agenda Item 9.

Expected Knowledge and Skills

This is not a beginner-level course and is not intended for individuals who are unfamiliar with the Windows environment.

Participants should have:
