Pre-requisites
- Python
- Docker
- Being comfortable with command line
- Prior exposure to machine learning (at work or from other courses, e.g. from ML Zoomcamp)
- Prior programming experience (at least 1+ year)

FAQ
I want to start preparing for the course. What can I do?
If you haven't used Flask or Docker
- Check Module 5 from ML Zoomcamp
- The section about Docker from Data Engineering Zoomcamp could also be useful
If you have no previous experience with ML
- Check Module 1 from ML Zoomcamp for an overview
- Module 3 will also be helpful if you want to learn Scikit-Learn (we'll use it in this course)
- We'll also use XGBoost. You don't have to know it well, but if you want to learn more about it, refer to module 6 of ML Zoomcamp
I registered but haven't received an invite link. Is it normal?
Yes, we haven't automated it. You'll get a mail from us eventually, don't worry.
If you want to make sure you don't miss anything:
- Register in our Slack and join the
#course-mlops-zoomcampchannel - Subscribe to our YouTube channel
Is it going to be live?
No and yes. There will be two parts:
- Lectures: Pre-recorded, you can watch them when it's convenient for you.
- Office hours: Live on Mondays (17:00 CET), but recorded, so you can watch later.
I just joined. Can I still get a certificate?
- To get a certificate, you need to complete a project
- There will be two attempts to do a project
- First: in July, second: in August
- If you manage to finish all the materials till August, and successfully finish the project, you'll get the certificate
