This training takes place in Dutch or English. The study material is always in English. A good command of the English language is therefore also important.

Laptop or computer

We recommend you have Office 365 or 2021 installed, but any version after 2010 should work. We also recommend having a second screen so you can efficiently attend live training sessions while doing lab work on a second screen.

This is how you will learn

Online Environment

You will go through the Data & AI modules independently through an online learning environment. You will also receive comprehensive guides with additional resources and other customized learning materials.

Support and guidance

You’ll get live, online career skills training, and meet your fellow students and the Techionista Team during weekly open coffees. Of course, we’ll provide you with a handy schedule to help you plan.

Inspiration

You’re not just working independently and online. You’ll also meet three times at a fun location for inspiration, to meet role models, and to take on a challenging Data & AI challenge.

What was her experience?

“The Machine Learning & AI track provides, in a short time, a nice introduction into the world of data science. If you already have experience with data science, this course shows you how you can easily apply machine learning together with Azure. I think this is a beautiful and inspiring course.”
