Build reliable habits through mentor-led labs and practical scenarios that reflect real model delivery work. ## Overview TensorFlow Practitioner is a hands-on programme for learners who want to build deep learning capability with a clear engineering workflow. Rather than focusing on theory alone, you will learn how to prepare data, build models, train effectively, evaluate performance, and package results in a way that supports real iteration. Delivered in a mentor-led format, the programme uses practical scenarios such as image classification, text basics, and tabular modelling patterns where neural networks add value. You will learn how to structure TensorFlow projects, avoid common pitfalls in training and evaluation, and interpret results with a clear evidence mindset. By the end of the course, you will be able to build and train TensorFlow models confidently, explain what the model is doing at a practical level, and produce artefacts that can be handed over for further development or deployment work. ## Prerequisites - Basic Python familiarity and notebooks comfort. - Comfort working with datasets and CSVs. - Helpful: basic ML concepts and metrics. ## What you will learn - Design TensorFlow model workflows for real tasks. - Analyse datasets to build reliable pipelines. - Implement neural network models using Keras. - Evaluate model performance using meaningful metrics. - Communicate results with clear evidence and limits. - Lead baseline delivery with reproducible experiments. ## Skills you will gain - TensorFlow and Keras workflow basics - tf.data pipeline building techniques - Model architecture selection fundamentals - Training stability and tuning basics - Overfitting control and regularisation - Metric selection and evaluation workflow - Error analysis and failure pattern review - Model saving and versioning basics - Inference checks and packaging habits - Handover notes and model summaries ## Career progression - Junior ML Engineer - Applied ML Engineer - AI Engineer - Data Scientist ## Curriculum 1. **Module 1: Getting Ready** - Environment setup and TensorFlow project structure - How deep learning work is delivered in teams - Reproducibility basics: seeds, versions, experiment notes 2. **Module 2: TensorFlow and Keras Foundations** - Tensors, layers, models, and the training loop mindset - Keras model APIs and when to use each - Loss functions and optimisers at a practical level 3. **Module 3: Data Pipelines That Scale** - Using tf.data for loading, batching, and prefetching - Normalisation and augmentation principles - Train/validation/test splits and leakage awareness 4. **Module 4: Building Neural Networks for Common Use Cases** - Dense networks for tabular tasks - CNN basics for images and feature extraction thinking - Embeddings fundamentals for text categories and tokens 5. **Module 5: Training Well and Avoiding Common Failure Modes** - Learning rate, batch size, and training stability - Overfitting controls: dropout, early stopping, regularisation - Debugging: exploding loss, poor convergence, data issues 6. **Module 6: Evaluation and Model Understanding** - Choosing metrics that match the task - Confusion matrix thinking and threshold awareness - Error analysis: identifying failure patterns 7. **Module 7: Packaging and Shipping a Baseline Model** - Saving models, versioning, and inference sanity checks - Basic performance considerations and latency awareness - Handover artefacts: model card summary and next steps 8. **Module 8: Capstone Build and Mentor Review** - Build a complete TensorFlow workflow end to end - Present results and decisions with evidence - Create an iteration plan for improvement ## Exam & certification This is an industry-aligned skills programme focused on practical capability.
