Apprenticeship learning programmes

This course will give learners the professional competencies that are increasingly required in a world in which the volume of data continues to grow rapidly.

Topics covered include machine learning, AI and data science, GDPR, impact reporting and how to make the most effective and consistent use of data in your role.

Learners will strengthen their ability to build performance dashboards, apply advanced analytics, and integrate responsible AI and machine learning approaches—while embedding best practices in data security, agility and analytics governance.  

You will gain critical knowledge, skills, and behaviours needed to understand your organisation's insights and data and use that information to analyse trends and inform decision making.
