DETAILED COURSE FLOW

5 learning modules

Create knowledge assistants that retrieve the right approved information, cite it clearly and respect user and document access boundaries.

MODULE 01

Knowledge use case and source preparation

Define what the assistant should know, who may ask and what a good answer looks like.

CORE TOPICS
  • Knowledge scope and user questions
  • Source quality, ownership and freshness
  • Document cleaning and metadata
  • Permissions and sensitive information
GUIDED PRACTICE

Audit a document collection and prepare a source and access specification.

MODULE DELIVERABLE

Knowledge-source readiness report

MODULE 02

Chunking, embeddings and retrieval

Build the search layer that finds useful passages rather than merely similar words.

CORE TOPICS
  • Chunking strategies and metadata
  • Embeddings and vector databases
  • Semantic, keyword and hybrid search
  • Filters, top-k choices and reranking
GUIDED PRACTICE

Create and compare retrieval configurations against a labelled question set.

MODULE DELIVERABLE

Evaluated retrieval pipeline

MODULE 03

Grounded answers and citations

Generate responses that stay within retrieved evidence and make uncertainty clear.

CORE TOPICS
  • Context assembly and answer prompts
  • Citation and quotation mapping
  • Unsupported questions and abstention
  • Conversation follow-up and context control
GUIDED PRACTICE

Build an assistant that cites passages and declines when evidence is insufficient.

MODULE DELIVERABLE

Cited knowledge assistant

MODULE 04

Agent tools, permissions and workflows

Connect knowledge answers with controlled actions without bypassing access rules.

CORE TOPICS
  • User identity and document-level access
  • Search and business tool definitions
  • Approval before sensitive actions
  • Audit logs and escalation paths
GUIDED PRACTICE

Add one approved tool to the assistant and test it across user permission levels.

MODULE DELIVERABLE

Permission-aware knowledge agent

MODULE 05

RAG evaluation, deployment and maintenance

Measure retrieval and answer quality and keep the knowledge current after launch.

CORE TOPICS
  • Retrieval recall and answer faithfulness
  • Adversarial and permission testing
  • Observability, feedback and failure review
  • Re-indexing, source updates and ownership
GUIDED PRACTICE

Deploy the agent, run a test suite and define its update and incident process.

MODULE DELIVERABLE

Deployed RAG capstone and maintenance plan

HOW THE TRAINING WORKS

Learn it. Apply it. Get it reviewed. Improve it.

Every important skill moves through explanation, demonstration, guided use and independent application. Trainer feedback is used to revise the work before it becomes part of the final portfolio.

01

Concept briefing

The trainer explains the principle, use case, limitations and the quality standard expected.

02

Live demonstration

A complete task is demonstrated while the trainer explains decisions, checks and common mistakes.

03

Guided lab

Learners repeat the method with support, ask questions and correct problems during the session.

04

Applied assignment

The same method is used on a different brief so the learner must make independent decisions.

05

Review and revision

Work is checked against a rubric, revised after feedback and prepared for project presentation.
