Micro-Credential Courses
We offer foundational and advanced micro-credential courses, each equivalent to one academic credit and focused on personalized learning pathways. Topics include Machine Learning Operations (MLOps), Generative Models, and End-to-End Computer Vision. These courses provide a hands-on, four-week experience that culminates in earning a micro-credential badge.
These mini-courses also involve assessments and assignments to ensure the practical application of AI knowledge. They include a combination of recorded and live online classes supported by a comprehensive course management system.
