The breadth of intelligent applications the BigML platform can support spawn many new opportunities for BigML partners to get involved in delivering Machine Learning-based solutions. Our certifications are perfect for software developers, system integrators, technology consulting, and strategic consulting firms to rapidly get up to speed with Machine Learning and the BigML platform as they acquire and grow their customer base.
In order to be eligible to enroll into the BigML Certified courses you must show certain level of proficiency in Machine Learning, BigML Dashboard, BigML API, and WhizzML. The following getting started assets will get you up and running in no time: ML 101, Tutorials, API documentation, and WhizzML.
This certification course prepares analysts, scientists, and software developers to become BigML Certified Engineers. It consists of 8 online classes of 1.5 hours each. Evaluation will be based on solving a set of theoretical questions and exercises presented during the course. The modules listed below will consist of 2 sessions each to complete the 8 online classes.
