Applied AI and Machine Learning Foundations
A baseline ML exercise and bounded applied-AI prototype. Train/test separation is justified, baselines are compared and generated outputs are evaluated; no research-model mastery claim.
Register your interest. Dates and delivery are confirmed before enrolment opens.
What you will be able to do.
Build understanding, put it into practice and finish with work you can explain.
- Train/test separation is justified, baselines are compared and generated outputs are evaluated; no research-model mastery claim.
Is this for you?
Intermediate learners who can demonstrate the entry competencies listed below. Preparation suggestions are optional.
Before you begin
Read a JSON file and test a Python function Calculate a total and identify a duplicate in a supplied sheet
How you will show your progress
Train/test separation is justified, baselines are compared and generated outputs are evaluated; no research-model mastery claim.
From first principles to applied work.

How you will practise and be assessed.
The planned assessment checks your result, your judgement and your ability to apply what you learned independently.
- 01
Build the promised result
Demonstrate the promised artifact
WHAT YOUR WORK SHOULD SHOWTrain/test separation is justified, baselines are compared and generated outputs are evaluated; no research-model mastery claim.
- 02
Test a limit or failure
Explain generalisation uncertainty and limitations
WHAT YOUR WORK SHOULD SHOWThe documented failure/uncertainty is visible, and no prohibited action or unsupported success claim occurs.
- 03
Apply it independently
Independently explain and change one assumption in a baseline ml exercise and bounded applied-ai prototype.
WHAT YOUR WORK SHOULD SHOWThe learner predicts and verifies the change; AI output is not accepted without understanding.
