I wish i could go back in time and retake this course
Hey, I'm Ahmad Dorra, a software developer, and participating in the Machine Learning Certification Program (16-weeks) was one of the best decisions I made. Very well-organized lectures. High standard and easy to follow at the same time. Between the concise material (slides, deep-dive) provided and the round-clock support (office hours, slack channels) there is no need to check anywhere else. I would recommend the Bootcamp to anyone regardless of academic background since the instructors...Hey, I'm Ahmad Dorra, a software developer, and participating in the Machine Learning Certification Program (16-weeks) was one of the best decisions I made. Very well-organized lectures. High standard and easy to follow at the same time. Between the concise material (slides, deep-dive) provided and the round-clock support (office hours, slack channels) there is no need to check anywhere else. I would recommend the Bootcamp to anyone regardless of academic background since the instructors explain everything from the ground up. The quizzes and weekly challenges really helped retain most of the material. Honestly, my expectations were surpassed especially when we started learning how to build a neural network from scratch and solve back propagation on our own. That goes to show you that this course is not just about using libraries and copying code. Everything you need to get started in the AI/Ml field is in this Bootcamp. If you can code you must enroll today!! - Soulayman Al-AbdallahEng. • Student • Machine Learning Specialization • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJun 13, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I was surprised by the advancement that neural networks can provide to the improvement the accuracies, in addition to the various parameters tuning methodologies.
After accumulated knowledge, I made with my partner a voice analysis project that uses deep learning to identify the speech emotions and language fluency.
From now on, I am seeking combining my energy background with the unique ML knowledge I gain with Zaka, to support the energy solutions that rely on AI.

thoughts about the Machine Learning Certification
This 12-week program was one of the most powerful programs I have ever taken.it starts with basic knowledge about machine learning and then goes step by step into the deep aspects of how a machine acts and performers. through the 12 weeks, we had ongoing support through office hours, mentoring sessions and direct contact with the supervisors through slack. - Abbas NaimTechnical Reviewer & Instructor • Graduate • Machine Learning Specialization • OnlineNov 19, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing, informative full of experience.
Everything at Zaka academy, was amazing regarding the quality of information, the sessions, technical sessions, skills that we developed. As a graduate, I am grateful to all Zaka team members, for the way they provided such program and delivered it. We learnt a lot, as a ML specialization, about models, training, testing, the program was full of projects, 'weekly ones'. - Abdulrahman M.HaddadData Analytics • Graduate • Data Analytics Sepcialization • OnlineAug 04, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

My goal was to gain comprehensive knowledge of data analysis tools and techniques and to apply this knowledge effectively in real-world scenarios.The topic I liked the most was data visualization. I found transforming raw data into visually appealing and informative charts and graphs fascinating. This topic stood out because it gave me powerful tools to communicate complex data insights clearly and effectively, which is crucial for making informed business decisions.A new topic for me was big data analytics. I was amazed by the scale and complexity of analyzing large datasets. The most surprising aspect was how advanced tools and techniques can handle massive amounts of data, uncovering patterns and trends that were previously hidden.For my project, I analyzed customer purchase behavior to develop a dashboard for sales forecasting. The career fair experience was invaluable, offering opportunities to connect with industry professionals and receive feedback on my work.The program significantly improved my analytical skills, particularly in Python, R, and advanced statistical methods. This has prepared me to tackle challenging data problems and contribute effectively to any team.My plans include pursuing a career in data science and analytics, where I can apply my acquired skills to drive innovation and efficiency in business processes. - Rawan El FadelSoftware Quality Assurance • Graduate • Data Analytics Sepcialization • OnlineJul 22, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I discovered Zaka, one of the outstanding academy and community for AI field. I had the opportunity to be accepted in the AI Certification Data Science Specialization which took over 20 weeks. In those 20 weeks I learned alot and every week module was insightful and very well explained. The instructors were very helpful and constantly available for assistance. To the fact that I was not very good in Python programming (or basically any other programming langauge), I was very pleased and content to have sharpened those skills and improved them by the end of the program. Zaka also represented lots of workshops during the program, as well as hosting a virtual career fair which was really one of a kind. It was great meeting companies and ambassadors from the AI field and connect with them. Zaka school is highly recommended! - Celine A.Graduate • AI Bootcamp • OnlineJul 16, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The courses were very clear and the live sessions were supporting and concentrating my knowledge, and they were correcting any gaps that I had. What I liked the most about the bootcamp is the project we had to create by the end of the workshop besides the test as it triggers our practical knowledge to be in real action and it helps us get a direct rating for the project live online during the class. I'm beyond grateful for this and I will definitely be catching up with the future courses offered by ZAKA! - Haneen Abou HamdanGraduate • AI Bootcamp • OnlineFeb 21, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing, Beneficial and well structured bootcamp
I was looking for a way to learn more about AI, and I didn't know where to start, so I found Zaka and I decided to give it a shot, and Glad that I did.
I thought AI was a very complicated field but Zaka AI and the way they structure the course among the practical collabs makes the process much easier.

I enjoyed the NLP module, and I was looking, with my partner, to do a project related to our current job so we decided to do a Review bots project, we collected the relevant data, processed it, visualized it, and created the Models, then evaluated them! we are proud of the results !!
After achieving the first step into AI, I would like to enhance my skills in this fields and looking forward to learn more advanced topics.
