We rate it beginner level; the provider doesn't say.
Suits managers with a basic grasp of data who want to interpret and critically analyse business data and AI models. What stands out is the award: the Manchester Professional Certificate in Data and AI for Leaders, which counts towards a diploma. The main caveat is cost and time: £3,990 and four days in Manchester, though 50% funding is available for organisations in Greater Manchester. Warwick's AI Leadership programme, at £3,070, is a lower-cost alternative.
