Course Code: MS-DP100T01

Gain the necessary knowledge about how to use Azure services to develop, train, and deploy, machine learning solutions. The course starts with an overview of Azure services that support data science. From there, it focuses on using Azure's premier data science service, Azure Machine Learning service, to automate the data science pipeline. This course is focused on Azure and does not teach the student how to do data science. It is assumed students already know that.

  • Duration: 4 Days
  • Level: Intermediate
  • Technology: Azure
  • Delivery Method: Instructor-led
  • Training Credits: NA

This course is aimed at data scientists and those with significant responsibilities in training and deploying machine learning models.
