Course delivery
This microcredential is offered through a series of weekly online sessions facilitated by an industry expert. Each session will consist of a mix of subject presentations and hands-on experience. Participants will be able to learn the theory behind machine learning algorithms and data mining techniques followed by practical workshops, where they will apply what they've learnt to real-world business use cases.
In between sessions, participants will be required to engage in individual and collaborative online activities designed to support the understanding of the machine learning algorithms and their application.
