This is a very good course on Advanced RAG, especially because it is highly hands-on. The practical approach really helped me build a deep understanding of how RAG systems work under the hood, rather than just using high-level abstractions.
By Oscar A Rangel on 10/7/2025
There are some techniques, but the problem I see is that he does not build the next notebook on the advantages of the previous one... and in the end, there is no best notebook that incorporates all the best advanced techniques using RAG.

Great course once again from Markus. The concepts taught are relevant. Maybe some parts of the code need small updates to keep up with the changing langchain syntax but it is till ok. One thing that would really elevate the course even more would be some exercises that would force you to apply different concepts along the way.

Overall good course. Explanations and tutorials were good. But somethings need to be updated.
By Anonymized User on 11/29/2024
Could be better. Difficult to understand when jumping to code like that. Need overall, need visual materials like graph, chart, ...
By Anonymized User on 11/21/2024
Keeps up to the promise of the term Advanced in the course title. Gives a comprehensive overview on all the topics but the onus is still on the user to deep dive on the concepts. Recommend it. Would also like to give his Azure course a try!
By Craig West on 10/15/2024
Fantastic! Only half way through and learnt so much about RAG in a clear and logical way. It may seem a short course of 3.5 hours but the examples are very extendable. If you want a course on advanced RAG that is concise, deep and well explained then this is the course - and I am only half way through!
By Manuel Romero on 8/23/2024
Very comprehensive, in depth and updated, also includes a real life built project to analyze and build up your own project and consolidate learning The Python environment works perfectly (in mycase, Windows and Powershell) and demos are not very expensive in openai The syllabus is totally focused en RAG applications in production Congrats to the teacher!
By Matheus Kao on 8/12/2024
By far the most completed and updated course on Udemy about LangChain. I literally watched 5 other courses and this was the best. All concepts covered in depth, explanation about Runnables (the only course that I saw talking about it) Really appreciate your work on sharing this level of expertise and the end- to- end project. Please make a course about LangGraph. I'm already using it, and will be amazing checking out.

This course information was clearly presented, Markus has taken this very fluid and rapidly evolving niche to provide practical proven techniques that will be a HUGE time saving for anyone building LLM applications. I feel lucky to have benefited from his deep hard fought knowledge.
