BCS Membership Offer: If you do not hold a BCS certification and successfully pass the examination for this training course - you will be given one year's complementary BCS Membership. This offer is only valid for your first BCS qualification.
Our three-day Artificial Intelligence (AI) Foundation training course is accredited by BCS, The Chartered Institute For IT. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Foundation certification will teach you the building blocks of AI and how to use your newfound understanding of Machine Learning.
Throughout the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Foundation training course, demonstrations will be presented using standard open-source software and cloud services. You will explore AI and technological requirements to develop a machine learning portfolio and continue with self-study beyond the scope of this course.
You will cover the following topics on our Artificial Intelligence (AI) Foundation training course:

• Describe how sustainability relates to AI and how our values will drive the use of AI and change our society.
3. An Introduction To Machine Learning Theory And Practice (35%)
After this section of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Foundation training course is complete, you will be able to apply your knowledge from the previous sections and understand the following:
• Demonstrate an understanding of the AI intelligent agent description
• Identify the differences between AI and ML
• List the four rational agent dependencies
• Describe agents in terms of performance measure, environment, actuators, and sensors
• Describe four types of agent: reflex, model-based reflex, goal-based, and utility-based
• Give typical examples of Machine Learning in the following contexts: Business, Social (Media, Entertainment), Science
• Recall which typical, narrow AI capability is useful in ML and AI agents’ functionality
• Recall the basic theory of ML
• Describe the basic schematic of a neural network
• Know how to build a practical Machine Learning Toolkit
4. The Management, Roles And Responsibilities Of Humans And Machines. (10%)
Completing this section finalises your understanding of all aspects required to pass the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Foundation certificate. In this final section, you will understand:
• Demonstrate an understanding that Artificial Intelligence (in particular, Machine Learning) will drive humans and machines to work together
• List future directions of humans and machines working together
• Describe a ‘learning from experience’ Agile approach to projects
• Describe the type of team members needed for an Agile project
