Detailed course plan and training brief. A complete taught course pack is in preparation. The linked foundation module, where shown, is a smaller available resource.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
A clear starting point.
Specialist studio; environment and faculty must be confirmed before scheduling
WHAT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE
- Explain the assumptions and failure modes in edge constraints.
- Complete the practical: export or quantise a small model and compare output agreement, size and CPU latency on an approved test device.
- Defend the resulting export artefact with reproducible evidence.

THE TRAINING STUDIO
Make the subject
visible in your work.
Export or quantise a small model and compare output agreement, size and CPU latency on an approved test device.
Evidence to produce
- Export artefact
- benchmark
- compatibility record
- fallback plan
Training brief for supervised delivery. Code, datasets, answer keys and environment acceptance must be completed in the full course pack before delivery is confirmed.
ASSESS THE REASONING
A question you
should be able to answer.
Why must accuracy be checked again after model conversion?
Review dimensions
Technical correctness · reproducibility · interpretation of results · failure analysis · individual explanation. Course-level rubric and faculty moderation form part of the final adopted teaching pack.
External reference access, hardware, cloud accounts and paid services are separate. No third-party certification is included by implication.
