RAG Engineer Sprint

Design, evaluate, and deploy retrieval-augmented generation systems that give GenAI applications better grounding and better answers.

5 daysTarget: RAG / GenAI EngineerLive intensiveProject-first
1 · Learner problem

A RAG demo can answer questions; a RAG system must earn trust.

Retrieval quality, chunking, evaluation, multimodal content, and deployment choices determine whether a knowledge application works outside a notebook.

Retrieval gap

Relevant context is inconsistent

Learn how indexing, chunking, embeddings, query strategy, and reranking affect the answer.

Evaluation gap

Good answers are hard to measure

Design a practical evaluation loop for retrieval and generation instead of relying on a few happy-path examples.

System gap

Knowledge is not only text

Explore multimodal, graph, and agentic retrieval patterns when a basic vector search is not enough.

Course response

A production RAG plan

Connect the pipeline, evaluation, deployment, and operating notes in a demonstrable project.

2 · Course outcome

Leave able to reason about retrieval quality and production trade-offs.

Build

First RAG pipeline

Ingest, chunk, embed, retrieve, and generate from a defined knowledge source.

Improve

Advanced retrieval

Compare retrieval strategies and improve context relevance for real questions.

Evaluate

Measure system quality

Use evaluation examples to inspect retrieval and generation instead of guessing.

Ship

Plan deployment

Document production RAG architecture, monitoring, failure modes, and the next engineering step.

3 · Ideal participant

For engineers building knowledge-grounded applications.

  • RAG and GenAI engineers
  • Software engineers working with LLM applications
  • ML engineers moving from prototype to production
  • Technical builders with a knowledge application problem
Prerequisite mindset

Bring a question set and a source of truth.

Programming and basic LLM familiarity are useful. The sprint focuses on system design and evaluation, not a no-code introduction.

4 · Curriculum

Six modules for production RAG thinking.

  1. Build Your First RAG PipelineConnect ingestion, chunking, embeddings, retrieval, and generation.
  2. Advanced Retrieval EngineeringImprove query handling, ranking, context selection, and answer grounding.
  3. Production RAG + EvaluationDefine evaluation examples and operating checks for quality and reliability.
  4. Multimodal, Graph & Agentic RAGUnderstand alternatives when text-only retrieval is not enough.
  5. Production RAG System + DeploymentPlan deployment, observability, security, cost, and maintenance.
5 · Live project

Build a production RAG system and deployment plan.

Use a trusted document set, knowledge base, or product-support corpus to show retrieval quality and answer grounding.

Pipeline

Knowledge ingestion

Prepare sources, chunk content, and create a retrieval path that can be inspected.

Evaluation

Question and quality set

Test retrieval relevance, answer grounding, and failure cases against representative questions.

Deployment

Production RAG plan

Explain architecture, monitoring, access, cost, and the next deployment milestone.

FAQ and refund terms

Before you enrol.

Do I need to know embeddings or vector databases?

Basic GenAI or software familiarity helps, but the sprint introduces the RAG system path before moving into advanced retrieval and evaluation.

Will the project use my company data?

Only use data you are authorised to share. A guided, non-confidential corpus can be used when a private data path is not approved.

Can a team take the sprint privately?

Yes. Ask about a delivery adapted to your knowledge source, security boundaries, and engineering stack.

What is the refund policy?

Eligibility, cut-off dates, transfers, and cancellations are stated in the refund policy and enrolment confirmation.

Take the next step

Make your RAG system measurable and ready for its next stage.
