Before you sign up

Suits newcomers who want a long, code-based route to building LLM applications, from Python basics up to RAG and agents. IBM rates it beginner, and the program has an ACE credit recommendation for participating US colleges. The main caveat is time and cost: Coursera estimates 6 months at 6 hours a week, it needs a subscription and the page shows no price. A free alternative is the LLM Course from Hugging Face Learn.
