Description

Earlier this year we collaborated with the University of Limerick as part of a European SME Skills Initiative – Project EAGLE.

Thanks to input from our SME network, UL have produced a short course in data analytics (Full title, Introduction to Data Analytics/Visualisation & Machine Learning) specifically for the needs of SMEs and professionals.

We are delighted to announce that there are 15 fully funded places available for eligible participants where priority will be given to SME companies. This is an EAGLE Project initiative, a Digital Europe funded project, aiming to address the digitisation upskilling needs of European SMEs. The cost of this module would ordinarily be €1000.

The Module – Introduction to Data Analytics/Visualisation & Machine Learning

Introduction to Data Analytics/Visualisation & Machine Learning will provide a pragmatic business and industry approach to Data Analytics. The module aims to introduce the learner to standard business systems to collect and interpret datasets for data driven intelligence.  It examines the relevance and value of data analytics as part of business practice.

Information is critical to decision making and visualisation plays a key role.  This module will introduce the use of database technologies and data visualisation in a relevant business and industrial context.  It will teach participants to represent pattern, trends, and correlations through appropriate data visualisation techniques.

This course adopts an applied learning approach.  The module lecturer is Brian McClafferty PhD, Digital Transformation & Operational Excellence Director at Abbott.  Brian will bring significant academic knowledge and practical experience thereby supporting learners to apply the learning outcomes immediately to real-life work challenges.
