Hugging Face Learn
Hugging Face Learn
In-depth hands-on courses; you need to know how to code.
Hugging Face's free courses on LLMs, AI agents, computer vision and audio; the LLM Course has a Vietnamese version.
Overview
Hugging Face is a large platform for sharing open-source AI models and data, and its Learn section gathers courses written by its own team and the community. The catalog currently includes LLM Course, Agents Course, Context Course, Deep RL, Computer Vision, Audio, Diffusion, ML for Games, ML for 3D, Robotics, a smol course and the Open-Source AI Cookbook.
The LLM Course is described as completely free with no ads, has a Vietnamese translation, but does not currently issue certificates. The Agents Course is also free and its certificate process is free: complete Unit 1 to receive the Fundamentals certificate, then do an extra use-case assignment and the final challenge to receive the completion certificate.
This is a learning source for people with a technical background. The LLM Course requires fairly good Python, while the Agents Course needs basic Python and a rough understanding of LLMs. For SMEs, the courses suit IT teams or people who want to build AI solutions on their own with open-source models.

Real-world example
A small software company that builds sales systems for store chains wants to add an AI assistant that answers inventory questions. Two developers take the Vietnamese LLM Course for the basics, then the Agents Course to build a test agent that calls the inventory API. They use the Agents Course certificate as proof of capability when presenting the new feature to customers.
Tips & notes
Brush up on Python first
Both main courses need Python, and without this foundation it is hard to keep up.
Take the LLM Course before the Agents Course
Understanding how language models work helps you build agents more confidently.
Combine Vietnamese and English versions
Read the Vietnamese version for the ideas, and check the English version when you meet terminology.
Use the Open-Source AI Cookbook
