Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning with Python

About course

The course prepares Junior-level specialists in machine learning and artificial intelligence using Python. The training is built around a single specialization: students progressively master Python, data preparation and analysis, mathematics and statistics for machine learning, classical ML algorithms, and neural networks. Each module concludes with a practical assignment using real-world datasets, while the entire course culminates in an end-to-end individual project — from problem definition and data preparation to model training, validation, and deployment as a working service. The theory is provided at the level necessary to understand how models work internally, rather than simply how to use ready-made libraries. Training is conducted online on the proprietary CyberFormula³ platform and includes live classes, pre-recorded materials, and weekly consultations with an instructor. Final assessment takes the form of a public project defense. Upon completion, students will be able to independently solve typical machine learning tasks and apply for Junior ML/AI Developer positions.

Special condition

To enroll in the course, a security deposit of 100,000 tenge is required. Upon successful completion of the training and passing the final assessment, the security deposit is fully refunded to the student. If the student terminates the training prematurely, the security deposit is non-refundable. In case of failure to pass the final assessment, the student must pay for re-testing at their own expense in the amount of 300,000 tenge. These terms are stipulated in a supplementary agreement with the student.

Skills

Students will learn to program in Python and work with NumPy, Pandas, scikit-learn, and PyTorch libraries. They will be able to independently collect and clean data, including extracting training datasets using SQL queries, perform exploratory data analysis, and engineer features for machine learning models. Students will master the development, training, and validation of classical machine learning models and neural networks, including convolutional architectures, and will learn to correctly interpret performance metrics. By the end of the course, students will be able to take an ML task from problem definition through to a working service and present the final result to an assessment committee.

FAQ

What is the Tech Orda program?
- Tech Orda is a human capital development program in the field of IT. The program provides subsidized tunding for the training of IT specialists in private schools of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Where will the selection of candidates for training take place?
- Acceptance and processing of applications will take place at the showcase of IT schools at astanahub.com portal.
What are the requirements for candidates?
- The basic requirements for candidates include citizenship of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the age limit from 18 to 45 years. Additional requirements depend on the IT-school / IT-company and the course you choose. It is mandatory to read all the conditions before applying for training.
How much does the training cost?
- The amount of funding per person is up to 500,000 KZT. If the training is conducted in an offline format, the program covers up to 500,000 KZT, and if the cost exceeds this amount, the student pays the difference. For online or hybrid training, the program covers up to 400,000 KZT, and if the cost is higher, the remaining amount is paid by the student. If the tuition fee is below the established limits (500,000 KZT for offline or 400,000 KZT for online/hybrid), the program covers it in full.
How long does the quota training under the Tech Orda program last?
- The training will take place from 6 months or more, depending on the Course and the IT-school you plan to enroll in.
How many IT schools participate in the program?
- The list of all IT schools is available on the showcase of IT schools at astanahub.com portal.
How many applications can I submit?
- Candidates can only apply for 5 (five) Participants of the Program.
How many scholarships/quotas can a candidate receive under the Program?
- The candidate can only study 1 (one) once within the framework of the Program. There is one exception: A student can get training in 2 (two) Courses during the duration of the Program, only provided that one takes Courses that are pre- and post-prerequisites to each other from the same Participant of the Program (IT school/IT company). For example, if you first study for a Junior Web Developer at School X in 2023 and then apply for a Middle Web Developer at the same school X in 2024.
Can a student who has completed a quota training under the Program in 2023-2024 apply again?
- A student can get training in 2 (two) Courses during the duration of the Program, only provided that one takes Courses that are pre- and post-prerequisites to each other from the same Participant of the Program (IT school/IT company).
If I studied with a Program Participant in 2023 (IT schools/IT companies), but was on the waiting list, can I apply now?
- Yes, you can. However, we recommend that you contact the Program Participant (where you have completed education) to confirm your status on the waiting list within the Program.
Is there an opportunity for a student to transfer from one IT school to another, which is also a Participant of the Tech Orda program?
- As soon as the candidate confirms his choice to apply for a grant at a certain IT-school, there is no possibility to transfer to another school. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you consider all available options before making a decision on accepting/rejecting a grant within the framework of the Program.
Should Candidates who have received a quota work out after training?
- No, such counter obligations are not provided for by Astana Hub. Other conditions may be regulated in the contract between the IT-school and the student.
Can I opt out of studying during the learning process? Is there a penalty if I don't complete the training?
- The conditions depend on the specific IT school/IT company you choose. In the school card on the showcaseof IT-schools at astanahub.com portal, there is a special 'Special conditions' section where this information can be indicated. Also, we recommend that you contact the IT school directly and find out about all the terms of the contract.
Can I study at the same time in an IT-company (EPAM) and an IT-school as part of the Program?
- No, within the framework of the Program, you can study at only one IT-school or IT-company.
