Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) with LangChain

Intermediate 3 hours English Course Certificate
Our recommendation
A DataCamp course teaching the technique that lets LLMs answer from your own data instead of just their training set. Across about three hours you progress from foundational RAG through more advanced methods, using LangChain. Hands-on and highly relevant to real-world AI applications, for Python developers who know LLM basics. API usage is billed separately.

Good for: Building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems with LangChain.

Less suitable if: You cannot code Python or want a conceptual-only course.

Is this course right for you?

A good fit if you…

You can code Python
You want LLMs to use your own data
You know LLM basics

Consider something else if you…

You cannot yet code Python
You want concepts only
You want deep ML theory

Requirements: Python and LLM basics; an API key (usage billed separately).

Realistic time: Around 3 hours.

About this course

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) with LangChain teaches the technique that lets LLMs answer from your own data instead of just their training set. Across about three hours you progress from foundational RAG through advanced methods — semantic splitting and graph-based retrieval with Neo4j — integrating external knowledge into model responses.

What you'll learn

Explain how RAG grounds LLMs
Split and embed external data
Store and query a vector index
Apply semantic splitting
Build graph-based RAG with Neo4j
Integrate retrieval into LLM responses

What it costs

DataCamp runs on a subscription — roughly $14/month billed annually (more month-to-month), with the first chapter of each course free to try. A certificate of completion is included with the subscription. The model and embedding APIs used are billed by usage by the provider, separate from DataCamp.
