It's an amazing AI learning journey which gives you a wide vision and overview about most aspects of AI Tech in a short time.
In one month, we were doing different real AI projects in Computer Vision, NLP, Time Series and other AI areas.
If you want to know what is AI and do real AI project in short time, you should choose this program.- Habib MradML Engineer • Graduate • Machine Learning Specialization • OnlineVerified by LinkedInDec 15, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Loved the ML specialization!
I decided to join the ZAKA program after applying for many online AI platforms and found myself only watching videos without real interaction with the instructors. my Goal was to follow a clear curriculum from A to Z with details and follow-up.

the most Topic I liked most in this Bootcamp was the live session and the dissertation of the assignment which make a deep understanding of the why and what of each nuts and bolts of DL.
The new topics that were very special in this program were the presentation on new topics like the latest cutting edge on many AI topics (GPT, Transformers..etc) with many experts worldwide and the real experience with the tech people.
Moreover, the capstone project (Roofinder) was an opportunity to apply my expertise in a real case project using ML in production.
A career fair was also beneficial as it gave us the chance to meet new companies working in this domain.
ZAKA program will help me in my career as it can broaden my expertise to build new solutions that will be an added value to my daily tasks at work.
As for the future, I am looking forward to making a merger between AI and my career to provide a smarter output that can smooth some of my daily tasks.
ZAKA is NOT only an AI platform, it is a world of AI that teaches all students (DL, ML, and DS) interactively. Many things qualify ZAKA as the TOP 1 platform: having the weekly assignments and workload deadlines, interaction with the instructor on slack (24/7), emails, daily live sessions, homework assessment, and correction, live Q&A...etc
ALL in all, with ZAKA you feel your AI school in your pocket at any time, and you can grant your success: doing by practicing.
ZAKA is highly recommended for beginners and for other practitioners to widen their PR in the world of AI.
THANK YOU ZAKA TEAM for giving us these opportunities during these 16 weeks of Bootcamp. - Nelson AraujoSupply Chain Analyst • Graduate • AI Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by LinkedInDec 12, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

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!

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.

Zaka is one of the most wonderful platforms, and one the most wonderful teams, as they care about the smallest details, and every week there is something new and new project, until the end of the program we throw ourselves in front of the graduation project, which is a beautiful experience. I advise everyone to join this program cz it is the only place where you tire yourself and benefit from practice, explanation, soft skills and everything.
Thank you Zaka. - Fouad AlkadriStudent • AI Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by LinkedInNov 24, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
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. - Aref HammadiGraduate • Machine Learning Specialization • OnlineVerified by LinkedInNov 24, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
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...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 favorite domain) and a classification task. The career fair was also a great experience communicating with different companies from different regions that work in ML and DS domains. It was a great online experience that I will always recommend it. - Elie DinaGraduate • Machine Learning Specialization • OnlineVerified by LinkedInNov 24, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
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.

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 practice these models.
The project was kind of a challenge, due to time restrictions and working hours difference between my teammate and I, but we were able to get to a solution and do a good project overall.
This program helped me with task prioritization, time management and most of all knowledge. Due to being a master student and working a part-time job as a tutor, I had a tight schedule, but I was able to achieve the program in a very good way and with a lot of knowledge. Everyone was awesome, understanding and very helpful from Zaka's team to the mates in the certification program.
If only I had more time, I would have enjoyed interacting more with the amazing, funny people in the chat group.
For the future, I hope that I will be able to go into research in the field of AI, especially computer vision in the medical field. - Zainab Atif AbualhassanLab assistant/ research assistant • Graduate • Machine Learning Specialization • OnlineVerified by LinkedInNov 24, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
