There is an acute worldwide shortage of machine learning experts and intense international competition for talent. Machine learning is the highest demand growth tech skillset globally
This Machine Learning Course will take students with no prior experience to a stage where they have the skills to be industry-ready upon graduation.
Machine Learning (ML) is the process of building, and using, predictive models. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the software that surrounds these predictive models while in use, allowing software applications to become more accurate at predicting outcomes.
The qualification will focus on the foundations of machine learning including:
- Types of machine learning algorithms including supervised and unsupervised learning
- Regression and Classification techniques for machine learning applications
- Using existing machine learning libraries to generate predictions
- Constructing and documenting datasets
- Understanding and applying Responsible AI and business ethics to machine learning systems
- Applying and improving deep learning systems
Who is this course for?
- School leavers – high school students interested in technology
- University students / Up Skillers – those looking to add to their skillset
- Career changers – those wanting to get into a new industry

Pathways into Industry
QRC aligns learning and training directly to that of industry needs and requirements which provides a valued outcome for learners.
Entering into Industry: Aligning supply & demand
This micro credential is in response to a united industry voice that is facing demand for entry level machine learning operators for current and
future work streams across key businesses both domestically and globally.
The focus is on developing a tech eco system in which entry level machine learning operators can understand and apply the fundamentals of machine learning to solve business tasks.
However, “a lack of people skills” has been identified as a problem within the industry. For machine learning and AI employers, “soft skills are seen as very important to critically important”, especially in client-facing industries. These soft skills facilitate responsible AI, as they promote empathy and understanding others lived experiences.
This qualification teaches the necessary machine learning and AI skills, along with the equally important soft skills.

Supervised vs Unsupervised Learning:
Broadly speaking, you can put most machine learning algorithms into one of two categories – supervised vs unsupervised. If you realise that you need to use machine learning to solve a problem, you will need to determine what kind of method you will use.
Finding the dream job:
Machine Learning is technology that lets a computer get smarter and smarter all by itself just by looking at data.
