Google Developers Machine Learning Bootcamp 2025 for Africans

The Google Developers Machine Learning Bootcamp 2025 for Africans has commenced.

The Google Developers Machine Learning Bootcamp is a training programme for people who want to work as machine learning developers.

The goal of this programme is for participants to learn about machine learning theories and eventually solve engineering problems in real-world situations. They will provide an environment for self-study and various opportunities to pique your interest.

Participants who have been pre-screened must complete a deep learning training course, an ML certification, and a hands-on project in four months. Those who complete all of them will be given the opportunity to apply for a full-time job or an intern position in companies that provide machine learning services.

They have added a practical project option, enhanced resume writing and career development sessions, and increased employment opportunities by partnering with more businesses to ensure their participants are better prepared for the job market.

Google Developers Machine Learning Bootcamp Programme Details

• ML Training: Complete educational training in Machine Learning Theory
  Deep Learning Specialization
  A specialized training program in deep learning was created by Andrew Ng, one of the founding members of Google Brain and a co-founder of Coursera, and his colleagues. It consists of five courses with lectures imparting professional knowledge as well as insights and advice from the experiences of industry leaders.
  • This training component is in English and is a requirement of the program.
  • While you must study independently to complete this training, we will provide online groups and mentoring opportunities to help with the process.
  • Google will fund the cost associated with this training.
  • Participants completing this training will receive a completion gift.
• ML Certificates: Complete a machine learning certification
  • TensorFlow certificates: This certificate can demonstrate your deep learning and machine learning (ML) problem-solving skills.
  • GCP Professional Data Engineer certificates: This certification exam assesses your ability to design data processing systems, process architect data, build systems and operationalize machine learning models, and ensure solution quality.
  • GCP Professional ML Engineer certificates: This certification exam assesses your ability to frame ML problems, architect solutions, design data preparation and processing systems, develop models, automate and orchestrate pipelines, and monitor, optimize, and maintain ML solutions.
    • You must complete at least one of the above certifications.
    • The exams are in English.
    • While you must study independently to complete your certification, they will provide online groups and mentoring opportunities to help with your preparation.
    • Google will fund the cost of the TensorFlow Certification exam.
• ML Practice: Participate in Kaggle Competition
  Kaggle is a platform for competitions where data scientists from all over the world come together to demonstrate their skills and earn prizes and fame. Experiencing real or close-to-real cases by participating in a Kaggle competition will allow you to see how much you have learned from the Deep Learning Specialization and ML certification.
  • All communications on Kaggle will be in English.
  • While you must take the initiative to find members and decide on the data and theme for your project, they will provide some mentorship with general guidance.
  • Participants completing this training will receive a completion gift.
• ML Network: Make connections with ML companies and apply for employment
  Gebeya, the premier Pan-African talent marketplace, will facilitate virtual Tech Talk, Career Talk, and Meetup sessions with tech companies looking for ML developers where you can gather insights from real-life examples as you prepare for a career as an ML developer.
  • Tech Talk: Participating companies introduce their technology and share what it’s like to work as developers. You will hear from current practitioners about their work and learn more about the companies you’ll apply to.
  • Career Talk/Resume Clinic: One of the common challenges of looking for a new job is creating an impressive work portfolio. Experts in the field will explain and advise on how to build your long-term career and how to manifest that in your resume instead of merely listing qualifications acquired over a short time.
  • Meetup: You will get to meet and communicate with experts from the training component, specialized ML developers, and other program participants, finding answers and inspirations about the field.

Google Developers Machine Learning Bootcamp Eligibility

• You must have basic programming experience in Python.
• Given this program’s purpose, your personal goal must be to find employment at an IT company or a startup as a full-time worker or intern. If you are just interested in learning about machine learning, this program is not for you.
• You must not have previously completed any of the training components offered in this program (Coursera Deep Learning Specialization, TensorFlow certification, GCP Professional Data Engineer certification, and GCP Professional ML Engineer certification).
• Your English comprehension skills should be good enough to understand the training components mentioned above as they are conducted in English without an interpretation service.
• The whole program will take about four months. You must be willing to work hard and learn during this time.
• While they will set up online meetings and provide some mentoring to encourage your studies, you have to learn on your own.

How to Apply for Google Developers Machine Learning Bootcamp

If you live in Sub-Saharan Africa and want to apply for this programme, you must do so by July 16, 2025.
