Overview
Embark on a transformative learning journey where you'll explore the core principles of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning.
Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that enables computers to learn and make decisions without explicit programming. It involves the development of algorithms that enable systems to analyze data, recognize patterns and improve performance over time.
From the basics to more advanced techniques, you'll learn to identify opportunities for machine learning. You'll explore how to clearly define machine learning problems and use data science techniques to analyze and solve business problems. Our hands-on approach in this course focuses on tabular data, guiding you through the creation of supervised learning solutions. Gain expertise in the entire modelling process, from constructing classifications to evaluating models that solve business problems and elevate business strategies.
The course experience is designed and delivered in partnership with Braintoy, the creator of Canada's first low-code/no-code applied machine learning platform. It is well suited for those who are technically curious but not necessarily technically experienced. If you have an interest in and aptitude for learning new technologies, this course has been designed with you in mind. No prior programming experience is required.
The course will provide you with a citizen developer skillset in supervised learning. A citizen developer skillset empowers individuals, typically with non-technical backgrounds, to create and customize solutions without extensive coding. It promotes agility, innovation and self-sufficiency within the workplace, allowing you to contribute actively to the development and improvement of solutions that support business functions within your current and future roles.
Upon successful completion of this course, you'll be able to:
- evaluate data for a use case through data science techniques
- outline the steps of the modelling process and aspects of data science that can be used to solve a problem and create value for an organization
- prepare data for modelling through data wrangling and preprocessing
- build classification models used to solve problems for an organization.

The Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) provides corporate training to help businesses boost productivity and workplace performance.
Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.
SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
