Birmingham City University (BCU) is offering a fully-funded course for businesses in the built environment, construction and property-related sectors, enabling them to improve their data analytics skills.
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 good data and the skills to interpret it essential. This course gives you the opportunity to build the right data skills.
The 12 hours course, delivered by Birmingham City University (BCU), 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.
