By the end of this course:
You will have built several models under the watch of our teachers. You’ll explore decision trees, classification and regression algorithms, as well as k-means clustering.
All of this will be conducted in Python, giving you an introduction to the key libraries pandas and NumPy.
Our Teaching:
We firmly believe in classroom-based study versus online, pre-recorded content, because it ensures your teacher is always on-hand to help you with the challenges you encounter.
You’ll also have ongoing access to the course content to take home and work on at your own pace.
Our Teachers:
Our Machine Learning teachers are Data Scientists.
They come with years of commercial experience.

Student Review:
“It was pretty awesome. A relaxed, short course that gave a great insight into how machine learning works. It’s a complex subject that can’t be mastered in a week! But to get great insights and experience from within this field was fantastic.”
