LLMs for IT Professionals: Building, Fine-Tuning, and Deploying
Back by Popular Demand!
We’re again partnering with Digital Nova Scotia and St. FX University to redeliver the five-module training program on machine learning, and specifically LLMs.
This microcredential course is designed to equip experienced developers with the skills and knowledge necessary to build and deploy large language model (LLM)-based applications.
Participants will gain hands-on experience with transformers, datasets, Python AI models, and best practices for integrating AI into applications. They will also explore techniques for fine-tuning models, leveraging APIs, and ensuring robust testing and QA.
By the end of this course, learners will acquire the knowledge and practical skills to build and fine-tune LLMs, seamlessly integrate them into applications, develop end-to-end pipelines for specific use cases, and apply best practices for responsible AI deployment.
- Module 1: Introduction and Fundamentals
- Module 2: Building and Fine-Tuning LLMs
- Module 3: Leveraging LLMs through APIs and Integration
- Module 4: Utilization of RAG and MCP
- Module 5: Good Practices and Ethics
Classes run Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning May 11th. There are additional self-learning materials, and participants will be expected to complete assignments and a capstone project.
