FAQ:

What specific qualifications or prerequisites are needed for participants before enrolling in the course?

Basic understanding of machine learning concepts and experience with Python programming is recommended. Prior experience with ML model development or deployment is helpful but not mandatory.

How long is each day's session, and is there a total number of hours required for the entire course?

Each day's session is generally structured to last around 4–5 hours, with breaks and interactive activities included. The total course duration spans five days, approximately 20–25 hours of instruction.

What’s the difference between deploying a model and making it production-ready?

Deploying a model means making it technically accessible. But making it production-ready involves designing scalable, low-latency pipelines, building monitoring and alerting systems, ensuring fairness, and preparing for continuous retraining, as emphasised in this course.

 

How This Course is Different from Other Production ML Courses:

Unlike general-purpose ML bootcamps, Production-Ready Machine Learning is structured around real-world requirements for reliability, scalability, and adaptability, drawn directly from the acclaimed reference “Designing Machine Learning Systems.” It encompasses not only model development but also critical infrastructure design, continuous deployment, monitoring, and feedback loops. The curriculum is rich in use cases and practical challenges faced by companies like Netflix, Uber, and Google. Trainees gain hands-on experience with ML observability tools, iterative workflows, and scalable ML model deployment pipelines. Additionally, the course includes production ML best practices for debugging, data versioning, fairness checks, and retraining strategies — ensuring you are equipped for real-world success, not just academic exercises.
