About Course
This specialised micro-credential equips learners with essential industry-relevant skills in forecasting, risk assessment, and AI-driven decision-making.
Learners will apply statistical and machine learning models to analyse time series data, identify trends, and optimise decision-making strategies. They will develop expertise in volatility modeling, correlation analysis, and risk management, addressing real-world challenges.
By leveraging advanced architectures to enhance predictive accuracy, feature extraction, and synthetic data generation, learners will gain competencies in automation, predictive analytics, and intelligent decision-making. These skills will drive innovation and improve efficiency, accuracy, and risk management across industries such as healthcare, finance, security, and AI-driven services.
Integrating online and in-person delivery, the micro-credential combines hands-on learning activities, where you will design and implement DNN, CNN, RNN, Transformer, GAN, and Autoencoder models for classification, sequential data analysis, and data manipulation. You will complete an assignment on time series modeling, participate in a case study on risk management, develop a forecasting project using RNN, LSTM, and Transformer architectures, and present a trading strategy simulation based on time series analysis.
This micro-credential is part of the CSM Pathway in Applied Computing.
Who Should Attend
Assumed Prior Knowledge
It is recommended that learners have a basic understanding of Python programming, as well as foundational knowledge in probability and statistics, linear algebra, and calculus.
Learning Outcomes
This micro-credential is predominantly delivered through a competency-based education (CBE) approach where learners acquire and demonstrate mastery of knowledge and skills that are directly relevant to job functions. This prepares them to be industry-ready where they can apply their newly acquired competencies to their work.
List of Competency Units
| Code | Competency Unit Title | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| ICT3504C | Deep Learning Architecture | 9 |
| ICT3505C | Modern Time Series Analysis | 9 |
The above are competency units that constitute this micro-credential. Upon completion of the micro-credential, you will be able to:
- Demonstrate proficiency in time series data preprocessing and apply statistical and machine learning techniques to analyse trends
- Develop real-world solutions, including venue prediction models and risk assessment tools
- Design, develop, and deploy AI-based models for trends forecasting, risk management, and decision-making
Coaching for Success
During the course, you will have access to a team of qualified success coaches who can work with you on learning strategies or to develop a personalised learning plan. Through the success coaches, you can gain access to a wide range of resources and support services, and be empowered with the necessary tools to navigate your learning journey successfully.
