Overview

This course falls under the South East Cross Border Alliance (SECBA). A project supported by PEACEPLUS, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB)

This advanced course is designed for IT professionals who want to deepen their understanding of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and learn how to apply AI technologies within technical environments. Building on existing computing and data knowledge, the course explores how AI can be integrated into real-world IT systems to improve efficiency, automate processes, and enhance decision-making.

Learners will gain practical experience with AI tools, frameworks, and techniques used in the industry — including machine learning, natural language processing, and data modelling. Through case studies and hands-on exercises, participants will learn how to design, implement, and manage AI-driven solutions that align with organisational goals.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to evaluate the suitability of AI applications, understand the data requirements for effective model training, and contribute to the planning and deployment of AI projects in their workplace.

Applicants should have a working knowledge of AI before applying to this course.

Units include:

Learn how AI and Machine Learning models are developed
Understand data processing and predictive modelling
Gain practical experience in creating AI-based solutions
Apply AI methods to real-world business problems

Assessment for this programme will be through development of a portfolio.

This course lays the groundwork for continued development in technical specialisms and leadership within the field of Artificial Intelligence.

Learners can build on this course by progressing to other more specialised courses such as specialist training in Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing (NLP), or Computer Vision or further study in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, or Advanced Analytics

By completing this course, learners will gain the ability to confidently contribute to AI initiatives, support digital transformation, and make informed decisions about implementing AI technologies in their workplace.

Participants will be well-positioned to move into roles such as AI Engineer or Machine Learning Specialist, Data Scientist or Data Engineer, Automation and AI Integration roles, or AI Project Manager.

These roles may be found across industries including finance, healthcare, manufacturing, public services, and technology.
