Meta is offering scholarships exclusively for UK public sector professionals to take the “Building Generative AI Apps with Llama Professional Certificate programme.” This hands-on course, delivered in partnership with Coursera, focuses on building and refining AI assistants using advanced prompting techniques, fine-tuning and context integration through retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).

Designed for developers, entrepreneurs, and technical professionals who have basic Python skills, the programme teaches you how to create AI assistants that are innovative, personable and practical — and can be used for customer service, education and business operations.
