Artificial intelligence and data — 67 modules

Data analysis, machine learning and professional use of language models. The field runs from a cleaned spreadsheet to a model in production — including the question always forgotten: where does the data come from, and what is it worth.

How this field breaks down

The base is an intermediate plateau. Where the « advanced » column is empty, it stays on display: that is the most useful information here.

Why this field matters here

This is where the gap between talk and practice is widest. Many professionals already use a conversational assistant without knowing how to verify its output. The first gain is not learning to train a model: it is learning when not to trust one.

Target roles

What these people actually do once in role — not the title on the payslip.

Data analyst

They turn raw data into a decision. The core of the job is not the tool but the question: an analysis answering the wrong question is well-presented wasted time.

Business automation specialist

They replace repetitive tasks with reliable chains, and know where automation becomes risky. In demand in SMEs, where nobody holds this role today.

In-house AI lead

They frame usage, write internal rules and train colleagues. As much a governance role as a technical one — and it has only recently appeared on org charts.

Where to start

Order matters more than volume: a module taken at the wrong time is a module wasted.

  1. 01

    1 — Clean data

    Collection, cleaning, verification. Eighty per cent of the real work, and the part always skipped.

  2. 02

    2 — Analysis and reporting

    Useful statistics, honest visualisation, and the ability to say « the data does not support a conclusion ».

  3. 03

    3 — Models and deployment

    Applied machine learning, evaluation, monitoring after deployment.

Questions about this field

Do I need to know how to code?

Not to start. A large part of the field can be tackled through spreadsheets and no-code tools, which is often enough to create value in an SME. Programming becomes necessary from the « models » stage onward, stated as such on each course page.

Does the content keep up with model changes?

Principles — evaluation, bias, output verification — move slowly; tools move fast. Tool-specific modules therefore carry an explicit date, and a course in session is never changed under your feet: the freeze rule guarantees two learners in the same session received the same teaching.

Only four advanced modules is not many.

Correct, and this is the best-served field on that front. The base is an intermediate plateau: it makes you operational, it does not make you a researcher. Expert level is produced on demand, for a specific need, paid in production lead time rather than waiting for a catalogue.
