Advanced Professional Certificate in Applied Generative AI & LLM Engineering (Prompting, RAG & Tool Use)
The Advanced Professional Certificate in Applied Generative AI & LLM Engineering prepares
professionals to design, ground, and deploy large-language-model solutions that are accurate, safe,
and cost-effective.
Course Overview
The Advanced Professional Certificate in Applied Generative AI & LLM Engineering prepares
professionals to design, ground, and deploy large-language-model solutions that are accurate, safe,
and cost-effective.
The programme blends prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), tool/function
calling, structured outputs, evaluation/guardrails, and lightweight deployment patterns—so teams
can build reliable copilots and knowledge assistants for real business workflows.
Why This Course is Important?
- Time-to-insight: LLMs accelerate research, analysis, and customer support tasks.
- Risk management: Guardrails, evaluation, and privacy controls prevent costly errors.
- Operationalisation: Practical recipes turn prototypes into maintainable applications.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this programme, participants will be able to:
- Engineer effective prompts and prompt chains for complex tasks.
- Build RAG pipelines (chunking, embeddings, vector stores) to ground LLMs in trusted data.
- Use tool/function calling to trigger queries, calculators, or external APIs.
- Produce structured outputs (JSON) with schema validation.
- Evaluate and monitor outputs with rubrics, test sets, and human-in-the-loop.
- Deploy lightweight LLM apps with guardrails, privacy, and cost controls.
Target Audience
- Data/ML Engineers and Full-Stack Developers
- Analytics & Knowledge Management Teams
- Product Managers building AI features
- Solutions Architects and Automation Leads
Entry Requirements
- Comfortable with Python/JS and basic ML/LLM concepts.
- Proficiency in English (IELTS 5.5 or equivalent suggested).
Programme Structure & Modules
- Model capabilities/limits; tokens, context windows, cost dynamics
- Prompt patterns: role, few-shot, chain-of-thought variants
- Safety, privacy, and compliance considerations
- Document ingestion, chunking, embeddings, and vector stores
- Query rewriting, reranking, grounding strategies
- Hybrid search (BM25 + embeddings) and latency/quality trade-offs
- Function calling to databases/APIs; tool orchestration
- Forcing JSON schemas and validation pipelines
- Connecting to enterprise data/BI systems
- Golden sets, rubric scoring, and automatic checks
- Guardrails for safety, policy, and PII/Secrets
- Telemetry, feedback loops, and continuous improvement
- Serverless endpoints, queues, and batch jobs
- Token budgeting, caching, and distillation
- Runbooks for reliability and incident response
