IBM Machine Learning Professional Certificate
IBM Machine Learning Professional Certificate is a paid intermediate course from IBM, online. It's a paid subscription; the price is on the provider's page. It ends with a professional certificate.
Before you sign up
Suits learners with some Python, maths and statistics who want a hands-on grounding in classic machine learning algorithms. What stands out is the project focus, with labs in every course and a capstone. The main caveat is the time estimate: the page says 3 months at 10 hours a week in one place and 42 to 60 hours of study in another. A subscription is needed and no price is shown. For a more maths-led route, compare the Machine Learning Specialization from DeepLearning.AI.
