Get ready to take the course

We hope that you are excited to get started with the course, and we have designed this page to make sure you have everything you need to jump right in!

Step 1. Sign up

To stay up to date with all the updates and special social events, sign up to the course.

Step 2. Get a Hugging Face account

If you don’t yet have one, create a Hugging Face account (it’s free). You’ll need it to complete hands-on tasks, to receive your certificate of completion, to explore pre-trained models, to access datasets and more.

Step 3. Brush up on fundamentals (if you need to)

We assume that you are familiar with deep learning basics, and have general familiarity with transformers. If you need to brush up on your understanding of transformers, check out our NLP Course.

Step 4. Check your setup

To go through the course materials you will need:

As an alternative to the free tier of Google Colab, you can use your own local setup, or Kaggle Notebooks. Kaggle Notebooks offer a fixed number of GPU hours and have similar functionality to Google Colab, however, there are differences when it comes to sharing your models on 🤗 Hub (e.g. for completing assignments). If you decide to use Kaggle Notebooks as your tool of choice, check out the example Kaggle notebook created by @michaelshekasta. This notebook illustrates how you can train and share your trained model on 🤗 Hub.
