The program, module by module
Module 1 — What Machine Learning Actually Is
Understand what machine learning adds beyond classic analysis: predicting from past examples rather than describing them.
Module 2 — Preparing Data for a Model
Build meaningful features through feature engineering — ratios, encoding, dates — without causing data leakage.
Module 3 — Classification and Regression Models: The Basics
Choose between classification and regression based on the kind of answer needed, starting with the simplest model.
Module 4 — Evaluating a Model: Precision, Recall, Limitations
Evaluate a model using precision and recall rather than accuracy alone, on data never seen during training.
Module 5 — Using Pre-Trained Models
Use a pre-trained model via an API — text, image — instead of training a custom one, unless a specific need proves it necessary.
Module 6 — Business Use Cases: Churn Prediction, Scoring, Recommendation
Recognize ML business use cases — churn, scoring, recommendation — as support for human decisions, never blind automation.
Module 7 — Ethics and Algorithmic Bias
Detect algorithmic bias by comparing model performance across subgroups, not just on the overall average.
Module 8 — When to Call In a Data Scientist
Recognize the signals that call for a professional data scientist rather than continuing alone.
Module 9 — Professional Integration and Certification
CertificationCross-cutting module: CV/portfolio, professional brand, interview practice, and job market activation — specific to this course's real career outcomes. Triggers generation of the final certificate.

Three levels, from simplest to most demanding. Each one only claims what it actually verifies.
Attendance certificate
Earned by: Modules followed
Proves: You followed the track — no graded assessment.
Certificate of achievement
Earned by: Full track completed on the platform, final project included, and final exam passed
Proves: Your knowledge and your final project, evaluated by the platform.
Field Practice Validated distinction
Earned by: A field challenge completed after the exam, in a real situation, with evidence
Proves: A CoursTech mentor reviewed and validated a genuine real-world application.
The distinction is added to your certificate of achievement — it never replaces it: nothing off-platform ever blocks the certificate itself.
Mentor support and validation: handled on request, within 72 business hours. If no mentor is active, the distinction stays open for 12 months as planned: no learner is penalized.
Mentor sessions: limited spots, on request. Reply within 48 h.
