About the AI-Native Software Development with Cursor Training
A 2-day corporate Cursor training for software teams
The AI-Native Software Development with Cursor Training focuses on how software development teams can use AI in a controlled way, not just for code completion but across project analysis, feature development, testing, debugging, and code improvement.
Participants learn the Cursor interface and Agent Mode, and practice managing project context, evaluating changes that affect multiple files, generating tests, and verifying AI-suggested code. The training also covers how to adapt these practices to team standards and enterprise software development processes.
The program also covers Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration. Teams that want to explore this topic in more depth can review the Model Context Protocol Training. For teams focused on code-based agent development, the Agentic Software Development with Claude Code Training is also a relevant program.
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
- Explain the AI-native software development approach and the ways Cursor is used in the development process.
- Use Cursor Chat, inline editing, and Agent Mode in everyday development tasks.
- Select project context to work with more control in large codebases.
- Review multi-file changes, refactoring suggestions, and generated tests.
- Evaluate security, quality, and team usage rules in AI-assisted code generation.
