{LLM developer} Thinking about becoming an LLM Developer? Here’s what past students say.
Enrollment for the next cohort starts now!
Good morning!
Enrollment for the next “From Beginner → Advanced LLM Developer” cohort is open right now—and will kick off June 1st with a call with our CEO, Louie Peters!
If you’re curious but still on the fence, let me show you why 1,000+ developers, data scientists, and founders have already jumped in.
What you’ll actually walk away with
A working, deployed LLM product (we guide you from idea → data → RAG / fine-tuning → deployment → working Gradio UI).
Portfolio & certificate to prove you can ship GenAI solutions—perfect for job interviews or pitching a startup.
Lifetime access & weekly updates—the course grows as the AI landscape evolves.
Discord channel + instructor support for fast feedback and networking.
A private Slack channel for all graduates with lifetime access.
No stress with our 30-day money-back guarantee!
Why this matters right now
LLM engineering roles barely existed three years ago, yet companies are scrambling to hire. Knowing how to reduce hallucinations, optimize cost, and productionize agents makes you instantly valuable.
This isn't a "temporary" skill.
LLMs will have weaknesses as long as they aren't "conscious".
Learning to mitigate them and build around them will always remain a crucial aspect for building a powerful application.
LLMs alone aren't that much, but LLMs, coupled with great engineering, create amazing products.
This is why we focus on teaching how to build around them.
Hear it from your peers
“Great tutorial…builds concepts from the ground up…equips you with tooling for real-world use cases.” — Victor Palomares (Software Engineer)
“Insightful, practical and very thorough…the course greatly expanded my knowledge of building and assessing RAG pipelines.” — Eoin McGrath (Machine-Learning Engineer)
“Beyond covering fundamental LLM concepts, the course delves into critical decision-making—understanding when and how to apply these technologies effectively.” — Mario Giraldo (AI Consultant)
“Well-structured and approachable…makes the learning process incredibly smooth and accessible.” — Dan Duggan (AI Sales Professional)
“From zero to hero as an LLM Developer…a clear path to build practical applications.” — Luca Tanieli (Software Developer)
“An exceptional resource…provides a clear, structured, and engaging pathway to mastering LLM development.” — Shashank Nainwal (Data Scientist)
“Amazed at the thoroughness and clarity…covers the whole spectrum of LLM engineering end-to-end.” — Carlo Casorzo (AI Engineer)
“Best course I found to learn up-to-date RAG techniques.” — Patrick Drechsler (Data Scientist)
“Covers an immense amount of information…I learned a ton about developing and deploying LLM applications.” — Martin Ballard (Software Engineer)
These are folks who started where you are—programmers and students with Python skills but unsure how to best implement LLMs in their applications.
Now? Since completing the course they’ve:
shipped RAG-powered features to production (many of which I reshared on LinkedIn),
earned promotions into AI-focused roles, and
built portfolio projects that opened doors to new opportunities.
Plus, if these reviews weren't enough, here are some industry leaders behind the tools you already use (or content you consume) who endorse our work:
“The most comprehensive textbook to date on building LLM applications.” — Jerry Liu, Co-founder & CEO, LlamaIndex
“Thorough explanations and code to start using and deploying LLMs…very highly recommended!” — Luis Serrano, PhD, Founder of Serrano.Academy & author of Grokking Machine Learning
“An indispensable guide…demystifies complex concepts and makes them actionable.” —Shashank Kalanithi, Data Engineer, Meta
“A rock-solid reference for prompt-engineering and GenAI practitioners.” — Sander Schulhoff, Founder & CEO, Learn Prompting
“A resource I’ll return to again and again, no matter how fast the AI landscape shifts.” — Tina Huang, Founder, Lonely Octopus & ex-Meta
Quick litmus test—this course is for you if you…
Know Python but haven’t taken an LLM from notebook to production and want to learn the whole pipeline in one place.
Need a proven roadmap for prompting, RAG, fine-tuning, agents, evaluation, and deployment—without piecing together random tutorials.
Want a portfolio-ready AI product + certificate to showcase in job interviews or for an internal promotion.
Plan to integrate GenAI at work or launch an AI-powered side project/startup and need guidance on both the tech and the business fit.
Prefer hands-on learning with ready-to-run notebooks, weekly content updates, and direct access to instructors in Discord.
Interested in joining a large AI-first community.
Care about long-lasting AI skills: reducing hallucinations, controlling cost, and picking the right model & tooling as the landscape evolves.
