Hear from Gen AI 360 Certification takers

“Probably one of the most complete end to end LLM resources I have seen so far. Even if you are more advanced in GenAI and LLMs, there are still many things you might be interested in learning and are likely new for you. Very much recommended.”

Xavier (Xavi) Amatriain, VP of Engineering - Product AI Strategy, LinkedIn

“@activeloopai @LangChainAI I signed up Wednesday and having been working through it.. insane quality for $0. 🤝”

Andrew Riley

“Two of the things that make this certification different from every other LangChain course I've seen: 1. It's very extensive! It could be a book. 2. You'll work on industry-specific projects.”

Santiago @svpino

“Yesterday I completed enough of @activeloopai‘s course to build something useful with #langchain Today a company owner liked the customer service bot I built for him and asked me to put it on his website. ZERO TO ONE BABY. Next: 1 to 10.”

Alex North Rule

“Another great resource to stay ahead in the game - The Gen AI 360 Foundational model extensive course by @activeloopai Check it out : https://learn.activeloop.ai/courses/langchain 🚀🚀✨”

As all of these technologies enter from bleeding edge to leading edge, it can be frustrating not having consistent examples or documentation to help carve away at the features Im desiring to implement both personally and for my employers. This was an absolutely incredible overview of LangChain, coupled with fantastic real world examples (with reasoning and failed attempts nonetheless). This course gave me everything I needed to iterate step by step on a few product features I've been exploring for work, as well as additional capabilities of both AI and LangChain that will be hard for my colleagues to believe are possible. I can't recommend this course enough and I've been eagerly awaiting completing it so I can show off my certificate and urge people to get their own. I'm super grateful to activeloop and team for organizing all these wonderful documents and examples and explaining it clearly and intentionally. This has supercharged my career and skills for the foreseeable future!

I didn't expect much. There are some tutorials out there covering most of the stuff found here. I mean, how hard can writing a prompt really be? As it turns out, you can get pretty darn advanced with it. This is literally the only course I've found regarding Langchain that is as serious as a heart attack. Most are only high level overviews. This is the real deal. And it's free...

This course is FANTASTIC! I have tried to navigate Langchain for a while now, due to their being so much functionality, I found it hard to grasp all the concepts. Not only did this course give me a great overview, it was packed with exciting projects. I made my own course material chatbot half way through, it was made so simple for me. Can't wait for more!! Thank you so much for making this accessible!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is the course free?

    The course is absolutely free to take. You do need a paid OpenAI account or alternatively, build the example projects with Open-Source LLM models. As a result20, you can still complete the course and pass chapter quizzes without running these projects or paying anything.

  • Will I get a certificate upon completion?

    Yes, you will get Gen AI 360 Certified upon completion.

  • How long does the course take to complete?

    Our quickest learners have completed the course as quickly as in 15 hours, but the average course completion time is 20+ hours of learning.

  • What are prerequisites for the course?

    Please know that prior knowledge of coding and Python is a prerequisite. You are not expected to have prior LlamaIndex knowledge but certain familiarity would be useful. You can learn LangChain from scratch in our previous course at learn.activeloop.ai/courses/langchain.

Course Prerequisites

We've designed the course in a way that would be valuable for non-technical executives as well. To make the most out of it, however, you do need to be technical as it involves a lot of hands-on projects.

  • Intermediate Python Knowledge

  • Basic Knowledge of Jupyter & Gradio
