Building RAG Pipelines with LLMs
Bridge Knowledge and Language—Build Smarter AI with Retrieval-Augmented Generation
About This Course
Building RAG Pipelines with LLMs is a specialized, project-based course that teaches how to combine the power of Large Language Models (like OpenAI GPT, Cohere, Claude, and Llama) with custom knowledge sources through Retrieval-Augmented Generation. RAG enhances AI responses by grounding them in factual, external data—making this a must-learn skill for developers, researchers, and innovators working in knowledge-intensive domains like legal tech, finance, healthcare, and education.
Aim
To provide participants with practical skills and technical knowledge to design, build, and deploy Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines using Large Language Models (LLMs) for accurate, context-aware AI applications.
Program Objectives
-
To train participants in the practical construction of RAG architectures
-
To deepen understanding of how LLMs interact with external data
-
To empower learners to build scalable, accurate, and context-aware AI systems
-
To prepare professionals for high-demand GenAI engineering roles
