Course Overview
The Level 4 Diploma in Computing and Practical Probability Theory (60-credit) offers learners a short but relatively extensive introduction to key Artificial Intelligence maths topics set against a backdrop of essential Level 4 Computing knowledge and skills. It is aimed at learners looking to undertake a broader grounding in key computing subjects with a preparatory interest in Artificial Intelligence-related maths.
As an outcome, the Level 4 Diploma offers learners current and integrated learning across practical probability theory, systems development, programming, data analysis, and relevant legislation/regulation. This qualification acts as a springboard into the larger 120-credit Extended Diploma. The qualification is suited to learners with a background in maths.
