Overview

About this course

Course Overview:
Generative AI is moving rapidly from experimentation to production, creating demand for professionals who can build reliable, scalable and secure AI systems. This program goes beyond prompts and prototypes to teach the complete engineering journey—from LLMs and RAG to agents, deployment, evaluation, security and LLMOps.
With 24 weeks of live, hands-on learning, you’ll work with enterprise technologies, build production-oriented AI applications and finish with a deployable capstone. The program is designed to help you develop practical engineering capabilities aligned with the rapidly evolving demands of Applied AI, LLM and Agentic AI roles.
