Descriptif

Programme
Data Science and Artificial Intelligence impact the way we do business. Consequently, companies’
business models are affected regardless of their market, sector or size. This introductory course allows
managers to understand key concepts in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence relevant to their
business and enables them to work efficiently in the future with Data Scientists and Data Engineers.
INTENDED LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the end of the course, participants should:
• Know key concepts in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence for Business
• Be familiar with the basics of coding in Python for simple Machine Learning Algorithms.
Important: this course is not a Coding course on Data Science.
• Understand how to work efficiently with their future Data Scientists and Data Engineers
colleagues
• Be able to further increase their knowledge on the topic, on their own, after the course, by
accessing during 6 months for free the DataCamp online learning platform and its more than
300 exercises on Data Science
COURSE STRUCTURE
Pre-course Preparation (8 hours maximum)
Using a free access to the DataCamp platform (online web access and an App for exercises):
• A first online course «Introduction to Python» to learn the basics of Python: 4 hours, 11 videos,
57 exercises
• A second online course «Intermediate Python»: 4 hours, 18 videos and 87 exercises
• By experience, it should take students less than 4 hours per course until full completion
• Waivers are available for this part of the course (depending on student’s actual level in Python)
