The IBM Applied Artificial Intelligence (AI) Professional Certificate Program sponsored by PLU is an instructor-led program. This means it starts and finishes on set dates, with specific online sessions aired at pre-set times. Assignments are also due on set dates, and exams take place on set dates. You do, however, get to enjoy some self-paced work too, for you are able to complete certain activities in your own time.
It’s worth noting that although this program is virtual, the great news is that you are never alone. The discussion space provided for the program is actively managed and you will be encouraged to connect with your instructors and mentors to ask questions and swap thoughts. We have found this enables learners to pace themselves well so they complete all the live sessions and associated assignments on time.
To give you an idea of how much time you should allocate to your learning, the program lasts for 12 weeks, and we estimate the you need to dedicate approximately 2 hours a week to your studies.
