Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about our course.

Can my company pay for this?

Of course! Companies know that they will be more competitive if their employees understand AI, so chances are they will help you out even if there isn’t a formal training budget allocated. For more information, please see this page.

Do I need to know how to code?

Absolutely not. AI is a tool and, like all tools, you can either decide to use it yourself or cooperate with someone who uses it. What matter is that you comprehend what you can achieve with it and what you need to make it work.

Does this course include Generative AI?

No. The course focuses on traditional machine learning. It does not cover Generative AI topics such as large language models or image creation systems.

I don’t think I have enough time

You can study the on-demand lessons at your own pace whenever suits you.

What if I can’t apply these concepts to my job?

You probably have heard the phrase “Data is the new gold”. Most companies already have data, they just don’t know how to put them to good use. Our case studies will help you realize how AI can apply to different scenarios.

Will I get a certificate?

You’ll get a certificate of completion from AI Academy that you can display on your LinkedIn profile and CV.
