NVIDIA NCP-ADS Exam Details: Accelerated Data Science Professional Certification
The NCP Accelerated Data Science certification is an intermediate-level credential that validates a candidate's proficiency in leveraging GPU-accelerated tools and libraries for data science workflows. The exam is online and proctored remotely, includes 60–70 questions, and has a 120-minute time limit.
Please carefully review the certification FAQs and exam policies before scheduling your exam.
Two to three years of hands-on experience in accelerated data science. Strong foundation in machine learning and GPU-accelerated computing. Experience in GPU-based optimization strategies and accelerated data manipulation techniques. Deep understanding of end-to-end data science workflows, from data preparation and cleansing to model development and deployment, with a focus on leveraging GPU acceleration for enhanced performance and efficiency.
This certification is valid for two years from issuance. Recertification may be achieved by retaking the exam.
Upon passing the exam, participants will receive a digital badge and optional certificate indicating the certification level and topic.

NCP-ADS Certification Learning Path
Accelerating End-to-End Data Science Workflows
A self-paced course where you'll learn how to build and execute end-to-end GPU accelerated data science workflows, enabling you to quickly explore, iterate, and get your work into production.
Fundamentals of Accelerated Data Science
This course covers the same material as "Accelerating End-to-End Data Science Workflows" but is taught as a live, instructor-led workshop. In it, you'll learn how to use GPU-accelerated tools to conduct data science faster, leading to more scalable, reliable, and cost-effective results.
Enhancing Data Science Outcomes With Efficient Workflow
In this instructor-led workshop, you'll learn how to develop and deploy an accelerated end-to-end data processing pipeline for large datasets.
