What you'll learn

Understand foundational concepts in machine learning and neural networks critical to generative AI.

Explain the architecture of transformers and large language models (LLMs), including attention mechanisms and training strategies.

Design and evaluate effective prompts using zero-shot, few-shot, and chain-of-thought techniques.

Compare fine-tuning, instruction tuning, LoRA, and PEFT approaches for adapting pretrained models.

Use key NVIDIA tools such as NeMo, Triton, RAPIDS, and TensorRT for LLM training, optimization, and deployment.

Apply best practices in LLM evaluation, experimentation, and reproducibility to prepare for real-world use and the certification exam.

Course Description

This course involves the use of artificial intelligence(AI).

Unlock your future in Generative AI with the NCA-GENL: NVIDIA-Certified Generative AI LLMs Specialization. This comprehensive course is designed to help you master the foundations of large language models (LLMs), prompt engineering, model alignment, and the powerful NVIDIA AI ecosystem—all while preparing you to pass the NCA-GENL certification exam with confidence.

Whether you're an aspiring AI engineer, data scientist, product manager, or a tech-savvy learner eager to break into the world of transformer-based models, this course will guide you step-by-step. You'll learn the core principles of machine learning, neural networks, and self-attention mechanisms that power modern LLMs like GPT, BERT, and T5. We'll dive deep into fine-tuning strategies, including LoRA and PEFT, and help you master zero-shot, few-shot, and chain-of-thought prompting techniques to enhance model performance.

Hands-on labs and real-world examples will walk you through using NVIDIA tools such as NeMo, Triton Inference Server, TensorRT, cuDF, and Base Command—tools that are essential for deploying and optimizing LLMs at scale.

By the end of this course, you’ll not only be equipped with the technical knowledge to pass the NVIDIA-Certified Associate: Generative AI and LLMs (NCA-GENL) exam—you’ll also gain practical, job-ready skills to thrive in the fast-growing world of AI and LLM deployment.

If you're looking for a clear path into AI certification, a career in LLM applications, or hands-on experience with NVIDIA generative AI tools, this course is your launchpad.
