About this course

Machine learning enables rapid, automatic analysis of complex data in large volumes to deliver accurate results quickly. It can help organisations identify opportunities and avoid unknown risks.

This course provides participants with a fundamental background knowledge of the theory, approaches and history of machine learning and helps develop programming skills in Python for practical application to machine learning tasks and problems.

Key benefits of this course

By the end of the course you should be able to:

  • Explain to a peer how machine learning algorithms can be applied and the background behind these algorithms
  • Program in Python to solve common machine learning problems
  • Apply machine learning related Python tools, including numpy and scikit-learn libraries.

Digital badge and certificate

A digital badge and certificate will be awarded following the successful completion of any necessary tasks or assessments to demonstrate acquired learning of the short course or for meeting attendance and/or participation requirements.
