You need help understanding and changing existing codebases

03

You want proof that AI-assisted changes are tested and reviewable

YOUR LEARNING ARC

From guided foundation to finished work.

01

Orient

Index a codebase and write clear project rules.

02

Plan

Turn issues into scoped implementation steps.

03

Build

Use targeted edits, agents and terminal tools.

04

Verify

Test, review, document and ship a capstone change.

INDUSTRY TASKS

Practise the work, not only the tool.

  1. Explain an unfamiliar repository with evidence
  2. Implement a feature across several files
  3. Refactor and test a risky code path

DETAILED COURSE FLOW

5 learning modules

Use Cursor to understand, change and test real codebases through scoped plans, deliberate context selection and reviewable engineering evidence.

MODULE 01

Cursor workspace and codebase context

Set up a repository so the editor can assist without guessing project rules.

CORE TOPICS
  • Workspace, indexing and code search
  • Project rules, documentation and context files
  • Chat, inline edit, completion and agent modes
  • Git status, branches and safe terminal use
GUIDED PRACTICE

Open an unfamiliar starter repository, map its architecture and create project-specific working rules.

MODULE DELIVERABLE

Codebase map and Cursor rules

MODULE 02

Issue analysis and implementation planning

Turn a vague feature or bug into a small sequence with acceptance checks.

CORE TOPICS
  • Requirements, constraints and clarification
  • Relevant-file discovery and dependency tracing
  • Implementation plans and risk notes
  • Acceptance tests and rollback thinking
GUIDED PRACTICE

Analyse a feature request and verify the plan against the existing code before editing.

MODULE DELIVERABLE

Implementation plan and test specification

MODULE 03

Controlled multi-file development

Use agent assistance for connected changes while keeping the diff small and explainable.

CORE TOPICS
  • Targeted prompts and context boundaries
  • Multi-file edits and interface consistency
  • API, data and UI changes
  • Diff inspection, rejected suggestions and checkpoints
GUIDED PRACTICE

Implement one end-to-end feature across application layers and explain each accepted change.

MODULE DELIVERABLE

Working feature branch and change log

MODULE 04

Testing, debugging and refactoring

Use AI to form hypotheses and create tests rather than making blind fixes.

CORE TOPICS
  • Stack traces, logs and reproduction cases
  • Unit, integration and browser tests
  • Refactoring with behavioural protection
  • Performance and dependency review
GUIDED PRACTICE

Reproduce a defect, add a failing test, repair the cause and confirm that the suite passes.

MODULE DELIVERABLE

Debugging and refactoring dossier

MODULE 05

Repository capstone and team handover

Complete a professional change with review notes, documentation and deployment checks.

CORE TOPICS
  • Pull-request summaries and reviewer guidance
  • Security and secret checks
  • CI results and release preparation
  • Architecture notes and handover
GUIDED PRACTICE

Deliver a capstone change to an existing project with tests, review evidence and operating notes.

MODULE DELIVERABLE

Cursor software-development capstone

HOW THE TRAINING WORKS

Learn it. Apply it. Get it reviewed. Improve it.

Every important skill moves through explanation, demonstration, guided use and independent application. Trainer feedback is used to revise the work before it becomes part of the final portfolio.

01

Concept briefing

The trainer explains the principle, use case, limitations and the quality standard expected.

02

Live demonstration

A complete task is demonstrated while the trainer explains decisions, checks and common mistakes.

03

Guided lab

Learners repeat the method with support, ask questions and correct problems during the session.

04

Applied assignment

The same method is used on a different brief so the learner must make independent decisions.

05

Review and revision

Work is checked against a rubric, revised after feedback and prepared for project presentation.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you apply

Is Cursor suitable for beginners?

Yes for guided projects, though basic programming knowledge helps learners judge the generated code.

Will the course cover Cursor agents?

Yes. Agent use, project rules, context selection and safe terminal actions are covered.

How is code quality checked?

Learners run tests, inspect diffs, review dependencies and explain every accepted change.

Do I need coding experience?

No, unless the course level says otherwise. Your advisor will check the right starting level.

Are classes live or recorded?

Classes are trainer-led in the classroom or live online. Recordings may support revision but do not replace class.

Will I receive a certificate?

Yes. Course completion requires attendance, assignments and the final project.

Can working professionals join?

Yes. Weekday, weekend and selected fast-track schedules are available.
