Certification

Certification Overview

The Certified Computer Vision Professional (CCVP) certification is an advanced, applied program for professionals building intelligent systems that can see, understand, and interpret visual data. This certification equips participants with the skills to design, train, and deploy computer vision models using deep learning frameworks, real-world datasets, and best practices in responsible and scalable AI deployment.

Through structured modules and projects, participants master modern computer vision techniques including object detection, image segmentation, tracking, and generative imaging.

Certificate Description

CCVP covers the full vision AI pipeline from data preprocessing and labeling, to CNN-based model training, deployment, and evaluation. Participants gain hands-on experience with tools such as OpenCV, PyTorch, TensorFlow, YOLO, Detectron2, and streaming video frameworks. The program also addresses vision-based edge AI, cloud deployment, and ethics in visual surveillance and facial recognition.
