Program
Model Distillation curriculum: 3 modules over 3 days
Module 1 : Model Distillation Fundamentals: Teacher-Student Principles and PyTorch Setup (Loss Functions, Datasets)
Dive into the theoretical basics of model distillation with a focus on the teacher-student paradigm, install the dedicated PyTorch environment and prepare your real enterprise datasets, code your first vanilla distillation pipeline by applying loss functions like KL divergence and MSE, carry out practical exercises on image classification models, produce a student model 5x lighter with performance validation, and benefit from personalized code review to anchor your professional skills from the very first day.
Module 2 : Advanced Model Distillation Techniques: Features, Logits, and Multi-Stage Distillation (Hugging Face, NLP)
Explore sophisticated methods like feature and logit distillation on NLP tasks with Hugging Face Transformers, integrate BERT teacher to DistilBERT student while handling attention mechanisms and hidden states, apply exercises on enterprise text datasets such as sentiment analysis or NER, optimize hyperparameters via grid search and early stopping, test robustness on noisy data, generate precise fidelity and compression metrics, and build a progressive ongoing project that demonstrates a 70% reduction in latency while preserving 95% accuracy.
Module 3 : Model Distillation Deployment: Hybrid Optimization, Quantization, and Production Measurement (ONNX, TensorRT)
Move to action with deploying distilled models via ONNX and TensorRT for edge computing, combine distillation with pruning and quantization for extreme gains, integrate into enterprise CI/CD pipelines, measure latency, throughput, and memory footprint on real hardware, perform comparative benchmarks teacher vs student on IoT and mobile cases, produce deployable deliverables like optimized Docker images, and finalize with a certifying project defense that directly valorizes your skills in scalable production AI.

Model Distillation training: access and practical arrangements
The Training Model Distillation - Optimize AI for Production 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 Training Model Distillation - Optimize AI for Production 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.

Our method
How Learni guarantees the quality of your Model Distillation training
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.
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.
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.
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.

FAQ
Model Distillation: frequently asked questions
Which tools are used in Model Distillation training?+
Hands-on work runs on loss Functions, datasets, hugging Face, NLP, ONNX and tensorRT. Those tools come from the Model Distillation program itself, delivered on site over 3 days, so participants practise on the stack they will use at work.
What can participants do after Model Distillation training?+
They can master the principles of model distillation for professional AI applications, develop compact student models from powerful teacher models in enterprise settings and implement knowledge distillation techniques with PyTorch and Hugging Face. Those are the stated objectives of the Model Distillation program at Intermediate level, checked by the end-of-session assessment.
What does the Model Distillation program cover, day by day?+
Day 1: Model Distillation Fundamentals: Teacher-Student Principles and PyTorch Setup (Loss Functions, Datasets). Day 2: Advanced Model Distillation Techniques: Features, Logits, and Multi-Stage Distillation (Hugging Face, NLP).

How is Model Distillation training assessed?+
Assessment relies on technical multiple-choice quiz on distillation and optimization at the end of the course, practical evaluation through development of distillation pipelines and defense of the ongoing project with performance metrics. Learni issues a completion certificate together with the individual assessment report at the end of the Model Distillation program, which an L&D team can file as evidence.
How much does Model Distillation training cost per participant?+
Model Distillation training costs $3,465 per participant. For an in-company team, the flat rate starts at $6,290 for the whole group, up to 8 people. The detailed quote, sent within one business day, adjusts the amount to the format and how far the syllabus is tailored to your team.
How long does Model Distillation training take?+
3 days, available live online (US time zones) or on-site at your offices. Half-day tracks spread over several weeks are possible so the team stays operational.
Who pays for Model Distillation training?+
Most US teams pay directly through their company L&D or training budget. Learni invoices in US dollars and accepts bank transfer (ACH/wire) or card, with volume pricing for teams. A purchase order is welcome.
What do participants need to know before Model Distillation training?+
Proficiency in Python, PyTorch or TensorFlow, basics in deep learning and neural networks.
Is a certificate issued after Model Distillation training?+
Yes. A Learni completion certificate is issued, along with the individual evaluation report. Learni is a certified training provider and prepares for third-party certifications, but does not award them itself.
Does Learni provide the equipment for Model Distillation training?+
