MLOps Specialization · 29,000+ engineers · 190 countries

The MLOps learning path built from what production systems actually require.

8 structured courses for DevOps, platform, and software engineers who need to own production ML systems — not just understand the theory. The curriculum was validated against 205 real MLOps job descriptions before a single lesson was recorded.

3 courses are live now. Courses #4–#8 are releasing through 2026. Start today and continue the path as it grows.

The learning path

MLOps Specialization — 8 courses from field overview to security & compliance

Each course covers one domain of production ML engineering. Take them individually or work through the full path. A certificate is awarded for each course you complete.

What makes this different

Three things we do that generic MLOps courses don’t.

📊

Curriculum validated against real job descriptions

The MLOps Specialization was validated against 205 real MLOps job postings before the first lesson was planned. Every module maps to skills that appear in senior MLOps roles. If it’s not in the job descriptions, it’s not in the course.

🔗

One running project across multiple courses

The Customer Churn Prediction Service runs through the specialization as a continuous project thread. You see how each new concept — CI/CD, observability, security — applies to the same real system, not to disconnected toy examples that disappear after each module.

🏗️

Built by someone still doing the work

Alex is an active IT consultant advising startups and enterprises on ML system architecture alongside building Nubes Academy. The courses reflect what production systems require in 2025 — not what they required when the course was last updated five years ago.

Available now

Start today. These three courses are live.

Three courses available now. The remaining five release through 2026. Every enrolment includes 2 years of access — you won’t need to wait for new courses.

Course #1 of 8
MLOps Fundamentals

The complete MLOps field overview — AI/ML landscape, model lifecycle stages, CI/CD concepts, infrastructure patterns, monitoring basics, and career paths. Start here if you’re new to MLOps or need a structured foundation before the deeper courses.

Course #2 of 8
Python for MLOps

Python taught through real MLOps use cases — file I/O, logging, serialization, testing, NumPy, and Pandas. Every topic is grounded in the context where you’d use it in a pipeline, not in isolation. Includes 15 quizzes and 4+ hours of video.

Course #3 of 8
ML Algorithms for MLOps

How ML model families behave operationally — resource profiles, latency characteristics, drift patterns, and failure modes. Taught from the engineer’s perspective, not the researcher’s. 9 hands-on labs and a capstone project with instructor review.

Your instructor

20 years in production engineering. Every course reflects it.

I’m an independent IT consultant who has spent over 20 years across system administration, software development, architecture, and technical leadership — advising startups and enterprises on the decisions that determine whether ML systems work reliably in production.

Nubes Academy started while I was teaching DevOps and Cloud at Master’s level at a Ukrainian university, where I saw the same gap in every cohort: engineers who understood the theory but couldn’t operate a real production system. The courses here are my answer to that gap — built from what production actually requires, validated against what employers actually hire for.

Team licences include full specialization access, a manager progress dashboard, an instructor kickoff session, and volume pricing. From €800 per seat per year.

Common questions

What you want to know before starting

No. The specialization is designed for engineers who operate ML systems — DevOps, platform, and software engineers — not for data scientists who build models. You need a working knowledge of Linux, Git, and basic programming. Course #2 covers all the Python you’ll need. You don’t need to understand how to train ML models — the courses teach you how to run them reliably in production, which is a different skill set.
Yes — every course awards its own Certificate of Completion immediately on finishing, shareable to LinkedIn and your CV. Completing all 8 core courses earns the MLOps Specialization Certificate. Nubes Academy is developing university accreditation partnerships — the Specialization Certificate is designed to become a recognized professional qualification, not just a digital badge.
Each course can be purchased and taken individually — there’s no requirement to commit to the full path. That said, the courses are designed to build on each other in the numbered sequence, and engineers who work through the full path consistently report the most coherent learning experience. Each course enrolment includes 2 years of access, so you can start with one course and continue the path when you’re ready.
Courses release in numbered order as they pass our quality review. We don’t publish specific launch dates until a course is confirmed ready. Subscribe to the newsletter on the Specialization page — subscribers receive launch notifications first, before any public announcement, along with subscriber pricing at launch.
The available courses range from 4 to 4.5 hours of video, plus lab time. Most engineers who study consistently (a few hours per week) complete a course in 3–6 weeks. The coming-soon courses are larger — 10–16 modules each. The full 8-course path is a 6–12 month commitment at a reasonable pace. All courses are self-paced with no deadlines.
