RAG Training – Build AI Applications

Visualpath’s RAG Training is a practical, hands-on program designed to help professionals understand, build, evaluate, test, and deploy Retrieval-Augmented Generation applications. The course progresses from RAG fundamentals to advanced implementation, covering LangChain, document processing, vector databases, retrieval, advanced RAG architectures, evaluation, regression testing, AWS deployment, and LangSmith monitoring. This RAG Course is designed for learners who want practical experience building production-oriented RAG applications rather than learning only theoretical concepts. Through coding exercises, hands-on projects, and real-world scenarios, learners develop the skills needed to create reliable applications that combine large language models with external knowledge sources.

RAG Evaluation Course

RAG Evaluation course covers Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) a powerful technique that combines large language models with external knowledge retrieval. Students will learn to build production-ready RAG systems using LangChain, manage vector databases, evaluate model performance, and deploy solutions on cloud platforms with real-time monitoring.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, students will be able to:

  • Understand the fundamentals of RAG and its applications
  • Implement document loading and text splitting strategies using LangChain
  • Design and manage vector databases for efficient retrieval
  • Build naive, advanced, and self-correcting RAG applications
  • Evaluate RAG systems using comprehensive evaluation metrics
  • Deploy RAG applications to AWS cloud infrastructure
  • Monitor and evaluate models in production environments

Assessment and Requirements

  • Module Completion: Students must complete all 15 modules
  • Hands-on Projects: Building complete RAG systems from scratch
  • Performance Metrics: Demonstrating understanding of evaluation methodologies
  • Deployment: Successfully deploying a RAG application to AWS

Prerequisites

  • Python programming proficiency
  • Basic understanding of machine learning concepts
  • Familiarity with large language models (LLMs)
  • AWS account and basic cloud computing knowledge

Required Tools and Resources

  • LangChain framework
  • Vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus, or equivalent)
  • Python 3.8 or higher
  • AWS account with appropriate permissions
  • LangSmith account for monitoring and evaluation
  • Jupyter Notebook or IDE of choice

Notes

This is a comprehensive, project-based course designed to provide practical hands-on experience with RAG systems. Each module builds upon previous concepts, progressing from fundamentals to advanced production-ready implementations. Students are expected to actively participate in coding exercises and real-world project scenarios throughout the course.

What Is Retrieval-Augmented Generation?

Retrieval-Augmented Generation Course , commonly known as RAG, combines information retrieval with large language models. Instead of relying only on the knowledge available within a language model, a RAG application retrieves relevant information from an external knowledge source and uses that information to generate a response. A typical RAG workflow involves loading documents, splitting content into useful chunks, generating embeddings, storing information in a vector database, retrieving relevant content, and passing the retrieved context to a language model. Visualpath’s Retrieval Augmented Generation Course follows this complete workflow and then moves into advanced retrieval, evaluation, testing, deployment, and production monitoring.

What You Will Learn in RAG Training

Build practical RAG skills from fundamentals to advanced implementation. Learn RAG architecture, LangChain, document processing, text splitting, vector databases, embeddings, retrievers, Naive RAG, Advanced RAG, Self-RAG, and Corrective RAG. The course also covers evaluation metrics, online and offline evaluation, regression testing, AWS deployment, LangSmith monitoring, and post-deployment evaluation.

RAG with LangChain

RAG with LangChain is an important part of the learning path. LangChain provides tools and components that can be used to build applications around large language models, document retrieval, and external knowledge sources. Learners work with document loaders, text splitting, retrievers, vector databases, and RAG pipelines. The course focuses on understanding how these components work together rather than treating them as isolated technologies. The practical exercises help learners understand how to create retrieval workflows and progressively improve the quality of generated responses.

Advanced RAG and Application Development

Basic retrieval is only the starting point. The course introduces advanced approaches that can improve retrieval quality and application reliability. Learners explore multi-stage retrieval, query expansion, advanced generation techniques, Self-RAG, and Corrective RAG. These approaches help demonstrate how RAG applications can be designed to retrieve better information, identify problems, and refine responses. The RAG Application Development component focuses on turning these concepts into working applications. Learners build RAG systems from the ground up and gain experience with the components required for practical implementations.

RAG Evaluation Metrics

Learn how to evaluate RAG applications using practical performance metrics such as precision, recall, NDCG, and relevance scoring. The training covers both offline benchmarking and online evaluation approaches, including A/B testing and user evaluation. Learners also explore regression testing and post-deployment evaluation to monitor quality and identify performance changes across RAG application updates.

RAG Testing and Evaluation

Reliable RAG applications need continuous testing and evaluation. The curriculum covers both offline benchmarking and online evaluation approaches, including A/B testing and user evaluation methodologies. The course also introduces RAG Testing and Evaluation practices that can help identify quality issues before and after deployment. Regression testing is another important component. Learners understand how to establish regression test suites and monitor changes so that application updates do not unintentionally reduce response quality. The RAG Regression Testing module adds a practical quality-assurance perspective to RAG application development.

LangSmith RAG Evaluation and Monitoring

Production RAG applications require visibility into how systems behave over time. The course introduces LangSmith for tracking, dashboards, observability, monitoring, and evaluation. Through LangSmith RAG Evaluation, learners understand how production systems can be monitored and evaluated continuously. The curriculum also covers post-deployment online evaluation and feedback loops. This helps connect development and testing with real-world production monitoring.
