Then, you’ll learn how to refactor model training code into standardized structures using tools like LightningModules and DataModules. Through short videos, readings, hands-on Learnings and a final assessment, you’ll gain confidence in comparing models, understanding experiment performance, and creating workflows that your entire team can use. Whether you're presenting model trade-offs or preparing code for a shared repository, you’ll walk away ready to support real-world ML development with clarity and rigor.

Financial plans are only as strong as the assumptions behind them. In this hands-on course, learners build a multi-year P&L projection that connects top-down market forecasts with bottom-up sales and cost assumptions, and then stress-test the plan to evaluate resilience under pressure. By the end of the course, learners will confidently model revenue and expenses over three years, run downside scenarios, and propose margin-preserving actions—all core skills for analysts and managers in FP&A, strategy, or operations.
