What you'll learn
A 20-hour NLP masterclass on the classical text-analytics stack — cleaning, TF-IDF, POS tagging, named-entity recognition, topic modeling and text classification. You leave able to turn raw, unstructured text into structured signals your models can use.
Working on real text, you clean and represent it (regex, TF-IDF), tag and extract entities, model topics, and build classifiers. The capstone is a working text-analytics pipeline.
- Analysts and data scientists working with text data.
- Teams building search, tagging or document-classification features.
- Clean, normalize and represent text data.
- Extract entities and part-of-speech information.
- Model topics across a document collection.
- Build accurate text-classification models.
- Assemble an end-to-end NLP pipeline.
- Hands-on labs throughout the program (70% project-based).
- A capstone project demonstrating end-to-end skills.
- Build text-classification and entity-extraction pipelines.
- Turn unstructured text into structured, analyzable signals.
Globally accredited certificate issued by Epsilon AI Learning — USA, with a unique Certificate ID and EPSILON ID. Awarded on 80% attendance, 80% final exam, and a capstone project.

Frequently asked questions
Is this about large language models (LLMs)?
No — this masterclass covers the classical NLP stack (cleaning, TF-IDF, NER, topic modeling, classification). For LLMs and generative NLP, see the Generative AI program.
What do I need to know first?
Basic Python is enough — you work on real text data throughout, from cleaning to classification.
What can I build with it?
Text-classification, entity-extraction and topic-modeling features — the capstone is a working text-analytics pipeline.
How much does the program cost?
Pricing depends on the format you choose — online, onsite, or a corporate cohort — and any current offers. Fill in the registration form on this page and an Epsilon team member will contact you with the exact price and the options that fit you.
When does the next cohort start?
New cohorts open regularly across online and onsite formats. Fill in the registration form and our team will contact you with the next available start dates that fit your schedule.
Is the program online or onsite, and in which language?
Both — Epsilon runs live, instructor-led sessions online and onsite, plus dedicated corporate cohorts. Programs are delivered in English and Arabic, with bilingual materials and instructor support. Tell us your preference in the registration form.
What certificate will I receive?
A globally accredited certificate from Epsilon AI Learning — USA, carrying a unique Certificate ID and Epsilon ID. It is awarded on 80% attendance, an 80% final exam, and a completed capstone project, and it is verifiable online.
