Download Curriculum
- Getting Started and Migration
- Installing Cursor and bringing across VS Code settings and extensions
- Interface tour: editor, chat, composer and agents
- Plan tiers and what is available at each
- Configuring the editor for how you actually work
- Where Cursor differs from a VS Code plus extension setup
- Tab and Inline Editing
- Tab completion and predicting the next edit
- Multi-cursor edits and following a change through a file
- Inline edit for scoped, targeted changes
- Accept and reject discipline: not taking suggestions on autopilot
- Hands-on: implement a small feature using inline tools only
- Composer and Multi-File Changes
- Scoping a change across several files
- The diff view and reviewing before anything is applied
- When Composer is the right tool and when agent mode is better
- Recovering when a multi-file change goes wrong
- Hands-on: perform a cross-cutting refactor with Composer
- Context Management
- Referencing files, folders, symbols, documentation and web sources
- Codebase indexing and what the model can actually see
- Why too much context degrades output as badly as too little
- Diagnosing bad answers as context problems rather than model problems
- Hands-on: fix a failing request purely by changing context
- Model Selection and Prompting for Code
- Available models and their practical differences
- Choosing per task: fast edits versus complex reasoning
- Intent, scope and constraints in a code-specific request
- Asking for alternatives and trade-off explanations
- Cost awareness: what your choices consume
- Refactoring, Testing and Debugging
- Understanding unfamiliar or legacy code quickly
- Establishing test coverage before refactoring, not after
- Generating and extending meaningful tests
- Debugging, error explanation and documentation generation
- Hands-on: refactor and test an existing module in your own stack
- Reviewing Output and Responsible Use
- Failure modes: code that looks right and is not
- What always needs verification before it reaches a commit
- Secrets, dependencies and security risks in generated code
- Licensing and organisational policy considerations
- Building a personal review checklist you will actually follow

Why this course
- Context is the whole game: Most poor output traces back to context, not the model. Learn to control it.
- Works in your stack: Labs run against your team's real languages and repositories.
- Model choice matters: Practical guidance on picking a model per task rather than defaulting to one.
- Honest about failure modes: Clear on where Cursor produces confident, plausible, wrong code.
Training objectives
- Install Cursor and migrate settings, extensions and keybindings from VS Code
- Use tab completion and inline editing effectively
- Apply Composer to scoped multi-file changes with proper diff review
- Control context through file, folder, documentation and web references
- Select models appropriately for different kinds of task
- Prompt for code with clear intent, scope and constraints
- Refactor, test and debug existing code with AI assistance
- Review AI-generated output critically before it reaches a commit
Who will benefit
- Software developers new to Cursor
- Engineers migrating from VS Code or another AI coding tool
- Technical leads evaluating Cursor for team adoption
- Graduate and early-career engineers
