The curriculum is up to the moment, comprehensive and allows for some personal focus for interest and depth. It also begins with optional pre-courses to ensure all students are prepared with pre-requisites. For major projects GL offers two tracks, either low code, management level programs or full code-oriented deliverables. You can also focus on an area of interest, although the total options are limited in each area.
Each course is about a week with live lectures on theory in each machine learning arena from world-class MIT professors. The most valuable portion was the weekly mentorship with industry professionals. They not only provided guidance on the homework but were a wealth of practical knowledge and career-relevant tips. It was particularly useful to watch an AI professional respond to a question in real-time by accessing the resources they use themselves. I frequently used the recorded lectures and professional sessions in addition to complete attendance of all live sessions.
This is a time intensive set of courses which I estimate at 20+ hours per week for complete understanding of the materials. I found it easiest to follow each course linearly, downloading the resources locally for cross-reference. The quizzes for each week were a bit light, and easily aced from the provided materials, but the projects were quite challenging and really developed your skills. In addition to the core materials, there was a generous quantity of additional courses and information with in-depth examples. Timing for courses was difficult for west coast US, with early classes and mentorships commonly starting between 5:30am to 6:30am M/W/F/Sat/Sun, and 1a Tuesday morning due dates.
Support was available, friendly and very flexible in my case. I worked with my PM to change cohorts to fit with my work schedule and to allow for planned travel. They were particularly flexible when I had extended out time for illness during the Capstone project period.
I had expected to really hone my machine learning capabilities but left with a real appreciation and understanding for neural network deep learning. I now feel comfortable stretching my professional interests into areas that I hadn't considered before such as medical research, natural language processing and computer vision.
I highly recommend this program to those desiring a broad relevant skillset in AI problem solving, at a value price point, accomplishable in just a few intense months.
