Course Overview

Turning data into actionable insights requires more than theory; you need tools that scale. In this one-day, hands-on course, you’ll learn how to build, train, and deploy machine learning models using Amazon SageMaker. You’ll follow a complete end-to-end data science workflow, from data prep and visualization to model evaluation and tuning, all within the SageMaker platform.

Through a customer churn use case, you'll apply real-world techniques like feature engineering, hyperparameter tuning, and autoscaling. Whether you're a developer or data scientist, this course will strengthen your ability to think critically about model performance and production-readiness using SageMaker’s powerful features.

Course Objectives

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to execute a full machine learning pipeline using Amazon SageMaker. You’ll develop practical skills in model training, tuning, and deployment that apply to real-world business problems.

  • Prepare datasets for machine learning with SageMaker
  • Train, evaluate, and tune ML models using XGBoost
