    Best way to kick off your AI journey

    First things first, the team and instructors are always nice and really helpful with any inquiries or questions you have. I didn't believe that I can learn all I need to know from the basics of data science to NLP, Computer Vision, Time Series and More! ..but I did! 
    I honestly highly recommend it to anyone who's enthusiastic about AI, with some effort from you to cope with the program schedule you will definitely get a great beneficial value from it.

    Awesome program and amazing team

    I'm an AI enthusiast, and I was looking for a place to start, but all the programs I've been involved in have been just an introduction to AI. But by chance, I belonged to Zaka, and it was the place I was looking forward to starting my career.

    Absolutely Perfect (ML Track / AI Certification)

    The course overall is great, I've had some previous experiences during my university in this field, but the unique thing is that they had a lot of practice, quizzes, Assignments, coding, and projects. And that enhanced my performance and the concepts are stuck in my brain. The course material was heavy, but it was a great experience with the best instructors you could have.

    A Great Experience with a Great Team

    I actually had alot in my mind about ML, but this program helped me organizing them and learning some ML stuffs from scratch. Since the program was interesting and organized for me, I was looking forward to learn more from it. Thanks to the program, I was able to work on the first project of mine and my teammates in ML which answers the question: "Does a sentiment analysis done on an ML generated summary reflects the real sentiment of the original text?" which is a combination of NLP (my...

    Awesome experience, totally worth it

    I decided to join this program, as it would be a great opportunity to go deeper in the world of Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Statistics, I would understand the basics of it, and how they do work. The topics that I like the most, were the new topics to me, some deep diving into the world of deep learning. As a data science graduate, I got to go over the basics just working on ANN model, and some theory about the other Neural Networks. With Zaka, I was able to learn a lot more and p...

    Great way to kick off your AI career

    I joined this program as a junior ML Engineer willing to build the core expertise required in this field.

    Biomedical Engineer

    Hello, I'm Kamar Chehimy, a Biomedical Engineer. I am participating in Zaka’s 16 week intensive Machine learning program. 

    It's really hard to find a program that goes over your expectation and it was achieved in Zaka. Everything was well organized and planned from the weekly lessons, challenges, office hours, exams and even the capstone project. You can work for couple of hours without being bored or tired due to the way they deliver the lessons and the challenges they design.
