You've read the papers and watched the tutorials. But you still haven't trained your own model or fine-tuned an LLM end to end, with your hands on the code.
In one half-day you'll do both, in a notebook you keep. You'll train and evaluate a real machine learning model, run an open LLM, and fine-tune it on your own data. No GPU, no local setup, everything runs in the browser.
Train and evaluate a real ML model with scikit-learn
Run and prompt an open LLM with Hugging Face Transformers
Fine-tune that LLM on your own data using LoRA
Learn when to prompt, when to fine-tune, and when to train from scratch
You leave with working notebooks and a certificate, not just notes. Taught by a practitioner with a PhD in machine learning who ships models for real clients, not a slides-only trainer.
The hype will keep changing. Knowing how to actually train these things won't.
Train a real ML model, then run and fine-tune an LLM, all hands-on in one half-day, in notebooks you keep.
Go from raw data to a trained model: split, fit, predict, and score
Read the accuracy, precision, recall, and a confusion matrix to judge your model
Spot overfitting and underfitting, and know what to do about each
Prepare features, train, evaluate, then iterate to improve the result
Understand train, validation, and test splits and why they matter
Keep a clean, rerunnable notebook you can reuse on your own data
Load an open model from the Hugging Face hub and generate text
Shape outputs with prompting, temperature, and token limits
See where a base model falls short and why fine-tuning helps
Build a small dataset and fine-tune an open model with LoRA and PEFT
Run the fine-tune in the browser with no GPU or local setup
Compare the base and fine-tuned model on the same prompts
Use a simple decision guide for prompt vs fine-tune vs train from scratch
Weigh cost, data, and effort for each path on a real use case
Avoid the common trap of fine-tuning when a prompt would do
Complete the hands-on build to earn a certificate of completion
Walk away with your trained model and fine-tuned LLM in working notebooks

Exited AI Founder (Rise AI: 35k Users) | Co-Founder of Krybe and Snapdrum.com
The Software Engineer. Ships product code but has never trained a model. Ready to add ML and GenAI to their toolkit, hands-on
The Data Analyst. Comfortable with data but new to model training and LLMs. Ready to move from analysis to building
The Technical Lead or PM. Briefs ML and GenAI work, but have never built it. Wants to understand it by doing, not just talking
You can read and edit simple Python. We use notebooks and explain the ML-specific code as we go
Everything runs in Google Colab in the browser. No local install, no GPU, no setup
We build up from the fundamentals. Curiosity matters more than prior machine learning experience
Live sessions
Learn directly from Dr. Aki Wijesundara & Manu Jayawardana in a real-time, interactive format.
Colab notebooks you keep
Every notebook is yours to rerun and reuse on your own data after the session
Your trained model and fine-tuned LLM
Leave with a working ML model and a fine-tuned LLM you built yourself, not a demo you watched
Certificate of completion
Earn a shareable certificate for completing the hands-on build
Session recording
Get the recording to revisit the steps and code at your own pace afterward
Decision guide
A take-home guide for choosing between prompting, fine-tuning, and training from scratch
