We built the digiLab Academy, to enable you to do
"AI in the Wild"

At digiLab, we build next-generation AI/ML solutions to tackle today's biggest and most exciting challenges:

  • Solving nuclear fusion
  • Decommissioning old power-plants
  • Managing airspace more efficiently
  • Designing lighter aeroplanes
  • Reducing the pollution in our rivers

That means working with organisations like the UK Atomic Energy Authority, Jacobs, NATS, Airbus, and South West Water .

    Our clients tell us over and over about the skills gap between the candidates they interview, and the employees they want.

    So we know what online ML courses really need to deliver

    All digiLab Academy subscribers have access to an embedded AI tutor! This is great for...

    Helping to clarify concepts and ideas that you don't fully understand after completing a lesson.
    Explaining the code and algorithms covered during a lesson in more detail.
    Generating additional examples of whatever is covered in a lesson.
    Getting immediate feedback and support around the clock...when your course tutor is asleep!

    A cutting-edge curriculum delivered by expert educators.

    Whether you are a complete beginner or arrive with some knowledge, We'll cover everything you need to know to do "AI in the Wild".

    So whenever you're confronted with real-world messy or sparse data, you'll have the knowledge and skills to tackle it.

    I know Tim and the digiLab team well, they are leaders in the applied ML space and really understand how to work with and build solutions for industry. They asked me to access the course and give early feedback. I teach a lot of students from our business schools, and many are looking to differentiate themselves by knowing the foundations in machine learning. This course is excellent. Really high quality, lots of interactive examples and well-paced as an introductory course on your way to becoming an AI practitioner. A no-brainer for the self-motivated learner.
