Propel your organisation forward with advanced machine learning

Machine learning is at the core of AI today — which makes understanding and being able to build machine learning models a key skill for data practitioners to add to their toolkit. Tailored for teams ranging from junior data scientists to seasoned developers and researchers, this programme is the key to mastering sophisticated data manipulation and machine learning techniques with Python.

This course equips your team with that skillset by providing the foundations, introducing core machine learning concepts and by exploring various algorithms that range in complexity that they can leverage as machine learning practitioners. They'll gain hands-on experience with both discriminative and generative models, decision trees, logistic regression, neural networks, and ensemble techniques.

This practical focus ensures that your team can immediately apply their new skills to address real-world challenges, boosting their ability to identify trends, make data-driven decisions, and drive your organisation forward.

FAQs

What support will my team have access to throughout the course?

Apart from instructor guidance within the workshops themselves, participants benefit from peer interaction and support within the online learning platform EDUKATE.AI. They can also benefit from a one-on-one call with a trainer/mentor to guide the next steps of their upskilling journey after completing the course.

How will participants learn?

We take a blended approach to delivering our curriculum, which means participants learn through a combination of live, instructor-led interactive workshops, and self-led practical assignments where they get to put the concepts that they learned to practice.

Is this course eligible for public funding?

No, this course is instead funded directly by the learners themselves or their employers.

In funding the course directly, your team benefits from a curriculum designed with specific learning outcomes achieved over a shorter learning period and without the restrictions attached to some publicly funded options.

Please consider our longer Apprenticeships or Skills Bootcamps if you're interested in government-funded programmes.

How long does the course take to complete?

The course includes 35 hours of live workshops spread over 10 sessions, with one session per week for 10 weeks.

What if participants are unable to attend one or more live sessions?

Participants are free to attend the live sessions at will. Recordings will be available on the learning platform EDUKATE to access throughout the course. But we highly recommend attending all live sessions to get the most out of the course.

Are there technology requirements for participation in this course?

Participants will need a web browser on their computer to access our learning platform, EDUKATE.AI, which hosts all our content. They will not need to install any software on their computer.
