Career Path - Model Validator is a specialized online training program designed to equip professionals with the theoretical knowledge, practical tools, and regulatory insight needed to become proficient model validators in industries such as finance, healthcare, insurance, defense, and AI safety.
 
What is Model Validation?
 
Model validation is the process of independently verifying that machine learning and statistical models perform as expected, comply with regulatory and ethical standards, and do not pose undue risk to users or systems. In high-stakes environments, models must be interpretable, robust, fair, and secure—and that’s where the role of the Model Validator becomes mission-critical.
 
Unlike model developers, model validators act as independent reviewers and risk assessors. They analyze inputs, assumptions, methodologies, model outputs, and performance across scenarios. They ensure models are fit-for-purpose, non-discriminatory, and aligned with organizational goals.
 
This course prepares learners to:
  • Perform independent reviews of machine learning models
  • Apply regulatory standards (e.g., SR 11-7, ECB Guidelines, ISO/IEC standards)
  • Validate model documentation, data, and algorithmic fairness
  • Test performance across edge cases, data shifts, and adversarial inputs
  • Understand model governance workflows and risk management protocols
How to Use This Course
 
  1. Start with the Fundamentals
    Build foundational understanding of model types, risk categories, and the validator’s role across the model lifecycle.
  2. Use Case Studies and Validation Templates
    Practice with real-world model validation reports, audit trails, and risk scorecards.
  3. Work Alongside Regulatory Frameworks
    Follow modules aligned with US, EU, and global regulatory standards, useful for banking, insurance, and AI governance roles.
  4. Complete Assessments
    After each module, apply your learning to quizzes, model assessments, and checklists to prepare for real validation reviews.
  5. Create a Portfolio
    By the end, you will have mock validation reports, scoring templates, and documentation examples you can showcase during interviews or job transitions.

Interview Questions Back to Top
  1. What is model validation and how is it different from model development?
    Model validation is an independent assessment of a model's soundness, while development focuses on building the model. Validation challenges assumptions, methodology, and checks for risk.
  2. What are the components of a model validation report?
    It includes model purpose, methodology review, performance evaluation, assumptions check, compliance assessment, and final recommendations.
  3. How do you test model fairness?
    Use bias detection tools (e.g., AIF360, SHAP), and assess disparate impact or treatment across sensitive groups using fairness metrics.
  4. What are SR 11-7 and ECB model guidelines?
    SR 11-7 (US Fed) and ECB guidelines (EU) provide regulatory standards for model risk governance, validation frequency, documentation, and independence.
  5. What is model drift and how do you detect it?
    Drift refers to changes in data distributions or model behavior over time. It's detected using monitoring metrics like population stability index (PSI) or concept drift indicators.
  6. Why is explainability important in model validation?
    Explainability helps assess if model decisions are transparent and understandable—vital for compliance, user trust, and regulatory approval.
  7. What’s the difference between back-testing and stress testing?
    Back-testing checks historical accuracy, while stress testing simulates extreme scenarios to see how the model behaves under pressure.
  8. What tools are commonly used in model validation?
    Python, pandas, sklearn, SHAP, LIME, AIF360, Excel, and internal validation frameworks.
  9. How do you validate a large language model (LLM)?
    Evaluate for prompt consistency, hallucination rates, output toxicity, safety filters, and alignment with user intent.
  10. What are the risks of not validating a model before deployment?
    Risks include regulatory penalties, unfair decisions, security vulnerabilities, and reputational damage due to flawed outputs
