Course Description

Course Overview

The AWS Certified Machine Learning Pipeline – Specialty course is designed to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills required to design, build, and deploy scalable machine learning (ML) solutions on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform. This course focuses on the end-to-end process of developing ML pipelines, including data preparation, model training, evaluation, and deployment. Participants will learn how to leverage AWS services and tools to create efficient and reliable ML pipelines that can handle large-scale data and complex ML models.

Prerequisites

To enroll in the AWS Certified Machine Learning Pipeline – Specialty course, participants should have:

• Experience with AWS services, particularly those related to machine learning, such as Amazon SageMaker and AWS Glue
• Knowledge of machine learning concepts and algorithms
• Proficiency in at least one programming language, preferably Python
• Familiarity with data preprocessing, feature engineering, and model evaluation techniques

Methodology: The course employs a combination of instructor-led training, interactive discussions, demonstrations, and hands-on labs. Participants will engage in lectures, real-world examples, and interactive activities to understand the concepts and best practices of building ML pipelines on AWS. They will also work on hands-on labs and projects to gain practical experience in designing and implementing ML pipelines using AWS services.
