NVIDIA Certified Professional: Generative AI & LLMs (NCP-GENL) — Exam Prep

Prepare for the NVIDIA-Certified Professional: Generative AI and LLMs (NCP-GENL) exam — an advanced, professional-tier credential (~60-70 questions, 120 minutes; recommended 2-3 years of LLM experience) for engineers who design, train, fine-tune, optimize, and deploy production LLMs. Built to the five domains: LLM Foundations & Prompting; Data Preparation & Fine-Tuning; Optimization & Acceleration; Deployment & Monitoring; and Evaluation & Responsible AI. Deep coverage of transformer architecture and attention variants (MHA/GQA/MQA, KV cache, RoPE), tokenization and dataset curation, PEFT (LoRA/QLoRA) and preference alignment (RLHF/DPO), distributed training and parallelism (tensor/pipeline/sequence, ZeRO/FSDP), memory and inference acceleration (mixed precision, quantization, continuous batching, paged KV, speculative decoding), the NVIDIA inference stack (NeMo, TensorRT-LLM, Triton, NIM), production monitoring, and evaluation, red-teaming, and NeMo Guardrails. Includes a knowledge check per lesson, a mastery check per domain, a full-length mock exam, and a spaced-repetition flashcard deck.
