Practical AI Utilization for Developers and Programmers
ACENET has partnered with Digital Nova Scotia and St. FX University to deliver a four-week 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 gained hands-on experience with transformers, datasets, Python AI models, and best practices for integrating AI into applications. They will explored techniques for fine-tuning models, leveraging APIs, and ensuring robust testing and QA.
By the end of this course, learners acquired 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.
The first cohort completed the program in March, 2025. Digital Nova Scotia interviewed two of the top candidates about their experience.
