Digital Nova Scotia, St. FX and ACENET Launch Microcredential in AI

December 13, 2024

Practical AI Utilization for Developers and Programmers

We’re partnering with Digital Nova Scotia and St. FX University to deliver a four-week training program on machine learning, and specifically LLMs. 

This microcredential course is designed to equip experienced developers with the skills and knowledge necessary to build and deploy large language model (LLM)-based applications.

Participants will gain hands-on experience with transformers, datasets, Python AI models, and best practices for integrating AI into applications. They will also explore techniques for fine-tuning models, leveraging APIs, and ensuring robust testing and QA.

By the end of this course, learners will acquire the knowledge and practical skills to build and fine-tune LLMs, seamlessly integrate them into applications, develop end-to-end pipelines for specific use cases, and apply best practices for responsible AI deployment.

Classes run from 4:00pm to 7:00pm Tuesdays and Thursdays for four weeks beginning January 28th. There are additional self-learning materials, and participants will be expected to complete assignments and a project.
