Learning objectives

  • Understand the architecture and specifics of LightGBM compared to other boosting algorithms
  • Effectively parameterize LightGBM for advanced use cases
  • Apply LightGBM to real datasets and optimize performance
  • Master hyperparameter tuning techniques, categorical data handling, and overfitting reduction
  • Interpret and explain the produced models

The Learni story

Founded by engineers and learning experts, Learni's mission is to make high-impact tech training accessible to teams everywhere. We work remotely with organizations across the US and Canada, in your time zone, to help teams upskill fast.

Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without this upskilling, your team accumulates a technological gap that translates directly into productivity loss.

  • Organizations that don't train their talents on key topics see their competitiveness drop.

  • Every quarter without training is a gap widening with competitors who invest.

  • The cost of inaction quickly exceeds that of well-targeted training.

Program

Module 1Introduction to Gradient Boosting and LightGBM

Review of boosting principles and decision tree construction; Presentation of LightGBM and its advantages over XGBoost/CatBoost; Installation and first use in Python. Building a simple model and understanding the LightGBM pipeline.

Module 2Data Preparation and Optimization with LightGBM

Handling missing and categorical data, leveraging LightGBM's native format, best practices for preparing large datasets; Analysis of LightGBM-specific data structures and advanced feature handling; Visualization and analysis of results.

Module 3Tuning, Evaluation, and Interpretability of LightGBM Models

Advanced hyperparameter tuning (num_leaves, max_depth, learning_rate, feature_fraction, etc.); Adapted cross-validation techniques; Overfitting detection and solutions (early stopping, regularizations); Model interpretation techniques: feature importance, SHAP values; Deployment and production best practices.

Evaluation method

  • Case studies to complete in groups and individually at the end of each day
  • Final project on a real dataset to present during the last session
  • Quiz to assess knowledge acquisition

Learning method

  • Alternation of theory and real-world experience feedback
  • Intensive hands-on exercises (real datasets, live tuning)
  • Comprehensive course materials provided (slides, Jupyter notebooks, Python scripts)

Methods, materials and delivery

The Master LightGBM: Complete Training in Gradient Boosting for Data Science program is delivered onsite or remote (blended-learning, virtual classroom, remote presence). At Learni, an industry-certified training organization, every program is built to maximize skills acquisition regardless of the chosen format.

The trainer alternates between demonstrative, interrogative and active methods (through hands-on labs and/or scenarios). This pedagogical approach guarantees concrete learning that's immediately applicable at work.

Equipment required

For the smooth delivery of the Master LightGBM: Complete Training in Gradient Boosting for Data Science program, the following equipment is required:

  • Mac or PC computers, high-speed fiber internet, whiteboard or flipchart, projector or interactive touch screen (for remote sessions)
  • Training environments installed on workstations or accessible online
  • Course materials, hands-on exercises and complementary resources
  • Post-training access to materials and educational resources

For intra-company training on a site outside Learni, the client commits to providing all required teaching materials (computers, internet, etc.) for the smooth delivery of the program in line with the prerequisites in the communicated program.

Skills assessment methods

Assessment of skills acquired during the Master LightGBM: Complete Training in Gradient Boosting for Data Science program is performed through:

  • During training: case studies, hands-on labs and professional scenarios
  • End of training: self-assessment questionnaire and skills evaluation by the trainer
  • After training: completion certificate detailing acquired skills

Program accessibility

Learni is committed to making its programs accessible. All our programs are accessible to people with disabilities. Our teams are available to adapt the pedagogical methods to your specific needs. Please contact us for any adjustment request.

Enrollment terms and lead times

Registration is possible up to 48 business hours before the start of training. All our programs are built for corporate L&D budgets and delivered onsite or remotely.

Our method

Training quality, guaranteed at every step

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
