Frequently Asked Questions

What are the prerequisites?

Comfort with Python, basic linear algebra, and experience training a model with a deep learning framework (PyTorch or TensorFlow). Beginners can start with our Foundations track.

How much time should I budget?

Most courses require 5–8 hours weekly. Live cohorts include optional office hours and peer review time.

Do I need a GPU?

A GPU accelerates training, but we provide CPU-friendly exercises and hosted notebooks where relevant. For advanced vision or transformer modules, a mid-range GPU is recommended.

Are there certificates?

Yes. We issue verifiable certificates upon successful completion of projects and reviews. Certificates reflect demonstrated skills, not mere attendance.

What support will I receive?

You get Q&A forums, curated references, mentor office hours, and structured feedback on projects. Our editorial edits improve your reasoning memos.

Can my company sponsor a team?

Yes. We run enterprise cohorts with custom evaluation datasets and internal review processes. Contact us to design a program.

What is your refund policy?

If you withdraw within the first 7 days of a course, we issue a full refund. After that window, partial refunds are considered for special circumstances.

Which tools and frameworks are used?

Primarily PyTorch, with tooling around Weights & Biases or MLflow, and standard libraries for data processing and evaluation. We favor open-source, reproducible stacks.
