Kaggle has big competitions over several months. They're designed to find top machine learning talent & innovative solutions to the problems they set. Typically the winners aren't just learning ML, they're seasoned pros doing it as a side project.

Our competitions are designed to teach. Each is a progression in difficulty over the previous one. Also there are a set of tutorials preceding each competition which get you up to speed on what you'll learn in the competition.

Plus we're organised into a cohort so you're not competing with the whole world - rather you're competing with your peers who are also learning. You work in a pair on the competition. Then we discuss the solutions teams came up with & what an 'ideal' solution would look like (if one exists - sometimes it doesn't!).

how much time should one dedicate per day? Is this course compatible with working full-time?

We've designed it to be very compatible with working full time!

We suggest ~10 hours per week, although except for the 30 min live competition each week, all of these hours can be done at times that suit you.
