Map your journey to

machine learning expert 1
The AWS Training and Certification Machine Learning Path: Developer
is a curated curriculum of self-paced digital, virtual classroom, and
in-person classroom courses designed for developers, software
2
engineers, and builders who want to become machine learning
subject-matter experts. Most courses are free and available on
demand—so you can study machine learning and real-world 3
applications however, whenever, and wherever you want.

This skills tracker helps you chart your progress as you move forward
on the learning path. With each course, you’ll be building machine
learning skills. Grounded in the foundations of software development,
this training is built on the curriculum Amazon trusts to help its own
developers and engineers master machine learning. As you develop
your abilities, you can apply your knowledge to your own real-world
projects, achieve an industry-recognized certification to advance your
career, and continue to learn and grow your skill set.
