Hello,

Does Deep Learning Specialization include pre-trained models usage ?
(I am lost in Coursera links).

If yes in what course?
if no what specialization to follow?

Yes, DLS covers the use of pretrained models and the general topic of “Transfer Learning” in DLS Course 4 (Convolutional Networks) starting in Week 2. Transfer Learning describes how to take a pretrained model and to adapt it to your particular problem, e.g. adding new output layers tailored to your needs and incrementally retraining some part of the pretrained network.

If you already know TensorFlow, there is plenty of other material out there on the web, e.g. this article by François Chollet that talks about Transfer Learning using TF/Keras. That is essentially one of the chapters of his book about Keras.
