Course Summary

Our Artificial Intelligence (AI) Essentials training course will give you a basic understanding of the terminology and concepts used by those working in Artificial Intelligence programs and projects.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a methodology for using a non-human system to learn from experience and imitate human intelligent behaviour. The essentials certificate tests a candidate’s knowledge and understanding of the terminology and the general principles of AI.
