Google Cloud Partner of the Year

Private

A private training session for your team. Groups can be of any size, at a location of your choice including our training centres.

As a Google Cloud partner, we pride ourselves in providing world-leading Cloud-based training solutions – led by expert practitioners – that give our clients the skills to succeed.

Over five days, you’ll learn how to build Vertex AI AutoML models without writing a single line of code and build BigQuery ML models knowing basic SQL.

You’ll also be taught how to create Vertex AI custom training using containers; use Feature Store for data management and governance; determine appropriate data preprocessing options for your use case and write distributed ML models that scale in TensorFlow. Finally, you’ll discover how to leverage best practices for implementing machine learning on Google Cloud.

Our Machine Learning on Google Cloud course is available as a private training session that can be delivered via Virtual Classroom, at our training centre in The Shard, or at a location of your choice in the UK.
