FAQs

Training is delivered using live and interactive virtual instructor-led sessions conducted by our subject matter experts. Self-paced learning is supported by our Mentoring Team for each of the artificial intelligence and data science courses included in this program.

During the live sessions, learners can post questions to the instructor using the live chat option. Additionally, the training platform has various tools that enable learners to get the attention of a mentor so they can ask a question.

The hands-on practicals are conducted using online virtual labs. All you need is a PC or a laptop with an internet connection. We will provide you with a login ID to access and do the practicals.

Our Mentoring Team is available to answer your queries through live chat or email. If required, the team can solve your queries using remote desktop support.

We post recordings of the live sessions included in the Data science and artificial intelligence courses in this program on the Learning Management System (LMS). You will be able to visit the LMS to view recordings if you miss a session. The recordings will be available to help with revision too before your final exam.

The study material and session recordings will be available throughout the duration of the program. You will be able to access them as many times as you want.

Your internet speed should be a minimum of 512Kbps.

To attend the live video streaming sessions, view session recordings, and access learning materials for each of the artificial intelligence and data science course included in this program, you can use your mobile phone. A smartphone that is 4G enabled is required. However, to do the hands-on labs and practicals, you will need a PC/laptop.

The live video streaming sessions use the concept of a virtual classroom in a metaverse environment. Learners attend live sessions with an instructor present and receive training as if they are attending the session in a classroom. The sessions are supplemented by virtual labs and post-session technical support to resolve all queries. E-learning platforms do not provide live training sessions. The content hosted on an E-learning platform is static.

AI and data science specialists are crucial in today’s business environment. Companies in all industries, from eCommerce, to finance, retail, transport, manufacturing, and healthcare are searching for new talent that can compile, analyze, and vizualize data to glean powerful insights. To enhance effectiveness and efficiency, AI specialists are responsible for setting up new apps and systems that use AI to make smarter judgments. This, in turn, boosts profit, enhances customer relationships, and reduces costs. Data scientists work collaboratively with business stakeholders to figure out how data can help them accomplish their goals. They create algorithms and prediction models to extract the required data for a given objective and then analyze the data, create meaningful visual reports, and share information.
