Practical Deep Learning for Coders is a free course from fast.ai, online. It takes about 14 hours. fast.ai doesn't say whether there is a certificate.
We rate it intermediate level; the provider doesn't say.
Made for coders with about a year of experience, ideally in Python, who learn best by building first. Part 1 alone is 9 lessons of about 90 minutes across vision, NLP, tabular data and deployment, and it's free. No certificate is mentioned, so don't expect a credential. The coding prerequisite makes it intermediate. Once you're through, the LLM Course from Hugging Face is a free next step.
Free, example-first deep learning course using PyTorch, fastai and Hugging Face, covering vision, NLP, tabular data, collaborative filtering, random forests and deployment. Part 1 has 9 lessons of about 90 minutes.
