Prerequisite Courses
In this intermediate-level course, individuals learn how to solve a real-world use case with Machine Learning (ML) and produce actionable results using Amazon SageMaker. This course walks through the stages of a typical data science process for Machine Learning from analyzing and visualizing a dataset to preparing the data, and feature engineering. Individuals will also learn practical aspects of model building, training, tuning, and deployment with Amazon SageMaker. Real life use cases include customer retention analysis to inform customer loyalty programs.

Course material was good. Instructor knew his stuff. The only problem I had was with the delivery of the labs. There were occasional times when the vm would take a long time to load, and some of the labs had typing mistakes that cause confusion.
Lab infraestructure is very suitable and works pretty good help to understand better the concepts exposed during the training.
Good documentation to support the course content, and to refer back to later at any time.
As a student, I was provided all the information needed prior to the course. I felt prepared and ready for the first day.
I was very pleased with all aspects of ExitCertified delivery of this course
