How you'll learn
Training is 100 % online on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine the programme with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Python (Fairlearn, SHAP), Great Expectations, Evidently AI, R, Collibra, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Practice is based on real procedures for a full audit of a predictive model, fairness and robustness tests, and review of model documentation and traceability. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final integrating project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Interpret the compliance framework for data and artificial intelligence.
Govern the lifecycle of predictive models.
Require sufficient documentation and traceability to audit a model.
Carry out independent model validations.
Assess fairness, explainability and robustness.
Where this takes you
Requirements
- Prior technical training or professional experience in the sector. No university degree is required.
