Hands on Machine Learning for Business Intelligence Professionals

The world of the business intelligence (BI) professional has changed rapidly in the last five years…and is set to change further. As a seasoned BI professional, you know your way around relational databases, SQL and tools for ETL and reporting. More likely than not, you’ve heard about data science and machine learning, and are keen to find out more about the exciting possibilities they offer.

Look no further.  Our 3 to 5 day Hands on Machine Learning for Business Intelligence Professionals is intended for BI professionals who are looking for a quick, practical introduction to machine learning.  Our course will not only teach you enough to get started on doing data science in your workplace, we also cover important aspects of the craft of data science that most of our competitors overlook.

How we Differ From our Competitors?

An important point to keep in mind when shopping around for training is that practical data science is more than techniques and algorithms, one also has to know how to formulate good problems and, more important, gain buy-in for data science in the senior echelons of the organisation.

Most data science courses teach technical stuff, but not address the all-important question of how to get started and gain management support.

That’s our edge. In addition to covering the fundamentals of data science in a code-centric, practice-oriented way we:
