Questions?

Machine learning is a sub-discipline of Artificial Intelligence that allows systems to simultaneously learn and improve from past experiences without the need of being explicitly programmed. Machine Learning Engineers use algorithms and statistical models to create computer systems which can learn for themselves. This may be your personal Netflix suggestion, Amazon suggested purchases or a new weather prediction app. Machine learning facilitates the analysis of huge quantities of data, usually delivering faster and accurate results to derive optimised solutions.

The importance of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning has been increasing as a growing number of companies are using these technologies to improve their products and services, evaluate their business models, and enhance their decision-making process.  

The main difference between AI and ML is that AI includes all systems, methods, and robots performing intelligent actions. ML only focuses on the AI methods and applications that learn and change their decision patterns based on data.

The main job roles in machine learning include data scientists, machine learning engineers, NLP scientists, computer vision engineers and data architects. This Machine Learning course combined with prior experience and qualifications gives you all the necessary skills to successfully transition into one of these roles.

The Machine Learning course offers an in-depth overview of Machine Learning topics including working with real-time data, developing algorithms using supervised & unsupervised learning, regression, classification and time series modelling. You will get to leverage real life case studies to practice your skills. At the end of the course you will have a working model that you can showcase to prospective employers. You will earn a Learnful certificate that employers can verify to attest to your new skills.   

An early career Machine Learning Engineer with 1-4 years of experience earns an average of €59,602. A mid-career Machine Learning Engineer with 5-9 years of experience earns an average of €70,000. (Source: Pay.com, March 2021. ML engineers salaries in Dublin).

An entry-level Machine Learning Engineer with less than 1 year experience can expect to earn an average of £40,530. An early career Machine Learning Engineer with 1-4 years of experience earns an average of £56,183. A mid-career Machine Learning Engineer with 5-9 years of experience earns an average of £71,139. (Source: Pay.com, March 2021. ML engineers salaries in London).  

The course is intermediate in level with some prerequisites. It is recommended that students have a solid understanding of mathematics, as well as knowledge of Python and programming techniques. Some students have taken self-learning courses or have technical backgrounds, like a degree in maths, computer science or research experience.

Learnful provides recordings of each of the classes so you can review them as needed before the next session. Students will continue to have access to all recordings for a minimum of 30 days after course completion so that you can continue to refer to sessions of interest, complete a reflective diary or access materials to help complete assignments.
