The Professional Diploma in Data Analytics & AI
In response to requests from Member Organisations, we have developed this Professional Diploma to afford participants a deeper understanding of the power and potential of Data Analytics, AI and other advanced technologies. Participants will learn how Data Science is transforming our lives – in business, in Government and in society as a whole.
90% of all data in existence today was created in the past two years. Being able to apply technology to better understand, analyse and utilise this data is an increasingly important skill set for career development. The Professional Diploma in Data Analytics & AI will help you to determine your path in this exciting and dynamic profession.
Practitioner-led Training
We believe the best learning comes from those who have developed their skills, knowledge and experience working with many of the top companies in the world. Our lecturers have been carefully chosen for their reputation as leaders in their chosen fields.
This is a fast changing industry with new approaches, techniques and technologies emerging every year. Learn from experts who are at the coalface, applying these technologies on a daily basis.
Flexible self-paced online learning.
The programme has been developed to allow you to learn remotely. Lectures are delivered live through the Zoom Webinars platform. They are also recorded so that, if you miss a lecture, you’ll be able to catch up at a time that suits you.
As part of the programme you will also be asked to provide a book review of a leading analytics publication and to provide a 1500 word essay on completion of the lecture series.
On successful completion of the programme (including lectures, book review and essay) you will be awarded the Professional Diploma in Data Analytics & AI from the Analytics Institute. If you have yet to become a Member of the Institute, you will then be able to apply for Membership at a reduced fee.
