Moving from Coursera deeplearning specialization to DeepLearning.AI Subscription

Course Q&A Deep Learning Specialization Neural Networks and Deep Learning

Hi,

I recently enrolled in Andrew Ng’s Deep Learning Specialization on Coursera and have been paying the monthly Coursera subscription. I’ve already completed the first course in the specialization on Coursera and earned the certificate.

I recently learned that the same specialization is available directly on the deeplearning.ai platform at a lower cost and broader access to courses, so I’m considering switching to deeplearning.ai platform.

I had two quick questions:

  1. Is there any way to transfer my completed progress (specifically the first course) from the Coursera version of the specialization to the deeplearning.ai platform? I’m not sure if this is even supported, but wanted to check before restarting.

  2. If progress transfer is not supported, and I need to redo the first course, do I need to rewatch all the videos, or can I simply complete the quizzes and programming assignments?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best,
Nikhil

As far as I understand these are independent platform and there is no connection between thme!

Your progress is not transferable from the Coursera to DL.AI Learning Platform.

You will need to re-take all of the graded assignments.

You will at least need to click-through all of the videos. Using the “Next Lesson” button should work.

One other detail to note is that you can’t just save your notebooks from the Coursera version of the course and then upload them to the DLAI version of the course. The grader mechanisms are different and some of the invisible JSON metadata in the ipynb files is different. But the logic of the programming sections is the same, so you should be able to just “copy/paste” your solutions from the “YOUR CODE HERE” sections from the Coursera version to the DLAI version, if that would be a savings of effort for you.
