Supervised Learning Techniques: Level 5 Online Course

Supervised learning uses labelled training examples to learn relationships between inputs and known outputs. Depending on the problem, a trained model may be used for classification or regression.

This programme goes beyond the three-module foundation route by comparing multiple algorithm families and examining validation, performance metrics, overfitting and hyperparameter tuning.

Who Should Study This Course?

The programme may suit learners with an existing interest in AI, data analysis or machine learning, including developers, analysts, researchers and students preparing for further technical study.

Complete beginners may prefer to start with the free Level 1 Supervised Learning Techniques course before progressing to this longer programme.
