How to choose.
A good RAG course covers more than a vector store demo. Look for chunking, retrieval quality, re-ranking, and how to evaluate answers, because that is where real projects fail.
If you also want agents, pick a course that combines retrieval with tool use. If you only need search over documents, a short course plus the docs of your vector database will get you further than a long certificate program.
