2026 UP NEC Public Training Programs “Module I: Agentic Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs)”

🚀 NEW TRAINING COURSE ON AI 🚀
The Professional Engineering Training Division (PETD) of the UP National Engineering Center is excited to introduce its newest training course under the Data Science and Analytics Certification Program, titled Module I: Agentic Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs).
In this ninth module, participants will learn about the foundations, design, and development of Large Language Model and Agentic AI applications using Python and leading open-source technologies, including LangChain, LangGraph, Ollama, Sentence Transformers, vector databases, and locally hosted models. They will build progressively from structured information extraction and local organizational knowledge assistants to tool-using agents, stateful multi-agent workflows, human approval mechanisms, and security guardrails.
