Open at NVIDIA ↗Common questions

Who it suits

  • ML engineers, data scientists and solutions architects with two to three years of hands-on work with LLMs.
  • Developers who want a recognised credential for LLM training, fine-tuning and deployment.

What it covers

  • LLM foundations and prompting: model architecture, chain-of-thought and few-shot techniques, and adaptation.
  • Data preparation and fine-tuning: dataset curation, tokenization and domain adaptation.
  • Optimisation and acceleration: GPU and distributed training, performance tuning and memory efficiency.
  • Deployment and monitoring, and evaluation and responsible AI, including bias detection and guardrails.

Before you start

  • NVIDIA expects 2 to 3 years of practical experience with large language models, including transformers, prompt engineering, distributed parallelism and parameter-efficient fine-tuning.
  • Python proficiency is expected; C++, containers and familiarity with NVIDIA platforms are beneficial.
