Spark NLP Training

We offer two training courses. Both are designed to teach hands-on data scientists to use Spark NLP:

• "Spark NLP for Data Scientists” focuses on the open-source library
• "Spark NLP for Healthcare Data Scientists” focuses on Spark NLP for Healthcare

Training courses are done online, with a live instructor.

Each training course is two days long. Each day includes four hours of live lectures and code walkthroughs.

Training courses are taught by a senior data scientist who is an active committer to Spark NLP who applies it in real-world projects on a day-to-day basis.

Of course. Live Q&A is encouraged and the instructor is also available to questions afterward.

We assume that you are a Python developer, know how to use its data science libararies, and are familiar with the basics of machine learning. Experience with Apache Spark is helpful but not required.

Yes. We can arrange courses to be done in person at your offices, and be customized to your specific use cases, programming language, or datasets.

We currently offer two certifications, each matches the training course of the same name:

• “Certified Spark NLP Data Scientist” focuses on the open source Spark NLP library
• “Certified Spark NLP for Healthcare Data Scientists” focuses on the healthcare library
