Course Overview

AI Engineering: LLM, RAG & Agents

Build production AI systems with LLMs. Master the OpenAI API, vector databases, RAG pipelines, function calling, MCP, and multi-agent orchestration. This track covers 30 progressive mini-courses from absolute beginner (A1) through advanced (B2), with short focused lessons and quick quizzes to lock in each concept.

What You Will Learn

You will start with the fundamentals and build up through intermediate and advanced topics, each course building on the last. Every lesson is practical, with real examples and an AI tutor available when you need help.

How It Works

Each course is broken into four focused lessons. Complete a few lessons a day and you will master the full track in weeks, not months.
