Course Description

[ Updated for 2021's latest SageMaker features and new AWS MLServices. Happy learning! ]Nervous about passing the AWSCertifiedMachine Learning - Specialty exam (MLS-C01)? You should be! There's no doubt it's one of the most difficult and coveted AWS certifications. A deep knowledge of AWS and SageMakerisn't enough to pass this one - you also need deep knowledge of machine learning, and the nuances of feature engineering and model tuning that generally aren't taught in books or classrooms. You just can't prepare enough for this one.
This certification prep course is taught by Frank Kane, who spent nine years working at Amazon itself in the field of machine learning. Frank took and passed this exam on the first try, and knows exactly what it takes for you to pass it yourself. Joining Frank in this course is Stephane Maarek, an AWS expert and popular AWS certification instructor on Udemy.
In addition to the 9-hour video course, a 30-minute quick assessment practice exam is included that consists of the same topics and style as the real exam. You'll also get four hands-on labs that allow you to practice what you've learned, and gain valuable experience in model tuning, feature engineering, and data engineering.
This course is structured into the four domains tested by this exam: data engineering, exploratory data analysis, modeling, and machine learning implementation and operations. Just some of the topics we'll cover include:
S3 data lakesAWSGlue and Glue ETLKinesis data streams, firehose, and video streamsDynamoDBData Pipelines, AWSBatch, and StepFunctionsUsing scikit_learnData science basicsAthena and QuicksightElastic MapReduce (EMR)ApacheSpark and MLLibFeature engineering (imputation, outliers, binning, transforms, encoding, and normalization)Ground TruthDeep Learning basicsTuning neural networks and avoiding overfittingAmazon SageMaker, in depthRegularization techniquesEvaluating machine learning models (precision, recall, F1, confusion matrix, etc.)High-level MLservices: Comprehend, Translate, Polly, Transcribe, Lex, Rekognition, and moreSecurity best practices with machine learning on AWSMachine learning is an advanced certification, and it's best tackled by students who have already obtained associate-level certification in AWS and have some real-world industry experience. This exam is not intended for AWS beginners.
If there's a more comprehensive prep course for the AWSCertified Machine Learning -Specialty exam, we haven't seen it. Enroll now, and gain confidence as you walk into that testing center. Who this course is for:
Individuals performing a development or data science role seeking certification in machine learning and AWS.

Well explained. Intensive.

I'm in the middle of the 3rd lesson... I got really annoyed that you're telling people that they have to convert their pandas DF into numpy arrays to send to sci-kit?? Ummm, no... I gotta wonder if the instructor has ever set up a model before...
The AWS stuff is pretty good, I think... I'll revise this when I take the test...

Great intro!

A good explanation and easy to understand for beginners on AWS.

By Rahul Kumar-BNG on 12/20/2020

Amazing content. The slides are very good and well organized. Expected more labs so 4/5

By Vikas Jain on 12/20/2020

Frank is an amazing teacher. He is full of confidence and explains things really well. This is the most comprehensive AWS Machine learning course available and full credit goes to Frank and Stephan

Good depth on the subject matter and the course does an excellent job explaining many of the complex topics related to AI/ML.

By Youssef Badawy on 12/6/2020

Honestly, I took the previous courses for cloud practitioner and it was good. my issue with this is the ability to teach and explain the topics, not just offer quick to memorize slides to prepare for the exam. Regardless if it was just a course to prepare you for the exam why include the 3-hour practice exam in a separate course with separate payment, Honestly not very happy with the result of this course, I was more looking to understand the concepts, as well as prepare for the course, not just get rushed into the overview of the exam.
