Applied Machine Learning develops the autonomy of participants to plan and implement a machine learning (ML) project using the whole life cycle, from problem understanding to deployment of results. This practical, problem-based microcredential enables demonstration of machine learning expertise and professional communication skills.

About this microcredential

This microcredential will allow you to develop your skills to apply the full machine learning project lifecycle to professional projects and business challenges. You'll work through a series of case studies and challenges with our expert facilitators and build up a skillset to implement machine learning solutions to specified business problems. You’ll learn to explain and justify your approach, design and implement a range of ML models and clearly communicate the outcomes and insights.

Key benefits of this microcredential

This microcredential will equip you to:

  • Build the autonomy to plan and implement a machine learning project all the way from problem definition through to solution development, deployment and communication of outcomes
  • Appreciate a highly practical, business-focused program which incorporates demonstrating an understanding of key ML concepts through application to case studies.

This microcredential aligns with the 2-credit point subject, Applied Machine Learning (42892) in the Master of Information Technology (C04295).

This microcredential may qualify for recognition of prior learning at this and other institutions.
