What is it?
BCU offers a fully funded 12-hour course for businesses that would like to refresh existing knowledge or learn new skills in Data Analytics.
Organisations in the built environment, construction and property-related sectors need to react to ambitious targets to reduce Carbon emissions. This affects their own way of working as much as the products or services they provide. The need to measure, monitor and evidence such reductions makes gathering good quality data and interpreting it an essential exercise. This course gives you the opportunity to build the requisite data skills.
This course will provide an introduction to the concepts of data analytics and the use of machine learning. Led by expert trainers, you will then apply these techniques on real-life data sets.
