¹ The topic related to the use of CNTK with a GPU is not available as part of remote training courses. This module can be delivered during in-person classroom-based courses, but only by prior agreement and if both the trainer and all participants have laptops equipped with supported NVIDIA GPUs (not provided by NobleProg). NobleProg cannot guarantee the availability of trainers with the required hardware for government-specific training sessions.
