How to Prepare for AWS Certified Machine Learning Specialty?
AWS offers different certification programs to recognize talents in different fields. In the field of Data Science and Machine Learning, it offers two popular certifications – AWS Certified Data Analytics – Specialty and AWS Certified Machine Learning – Specialty. In the previous article, we discussed the AWS Certified Data Analytics – Specialty that how one can prepare and crack the exam to achieve this certification. In this article, we will discuss in detail the AWS Certified Machine Learning Specialty certification and how to prepare for it. AWS Certified Machine Learning – Specialty This is a suitable certification for those professionals who are working in the field of machine learning and looking for recognition to stand out. This certification not only certifies the machine learning skills of a professional but also highlights the knowledge and understanding of different AWS cloud services related to machine learning and deep learning. Through this certification, AWS aims to assess and give recognition to the professionals for their expertise in designing, implementing, deploying and maintaining machine learning solutions for given business problems. Along with that, the candidate’s ability is also checked regarding identifying appropriate AWS services to implement machine learning solutions and designing and implementing scalable, cost-optimized, reliable, and secure machine learning solutions. AWS recommends this certification to the candidates with 1-2 years of experience in developing, architecting and running machine learning and deep learning workloads on the AWS Cloud platform. It expects that the candidates must have the ability to express the intuition behind basic machine learning algorithms. Along with that, they must be able to perform basic hyperparameter optimization while working with different machine learning and deep learning frameworks followed by best practices in training, deployment and operationalization of models.
