Who should not take this programme?

This course is not for everyone. It may not benefit you if you are:

        • Looking for Basic AI Knowledge: This course is specific to applying AI in financial services, not just an introduction to AI concepts. 
        • Not Ready to Adapt: If you are hesitant about incorporating new technologies into your work, you may find this course less beneficial.
        • Hoping for Overnight Results: While the course is practical, mastering AI in financial services requires ongoing application beyond just the duration of the course.

If you have previous experience on this specialisation’s subject or you are interested in learning more about a specific area of it, you can enrol in the individual course that covers your area of interest, instead of taking the whole specialisation. Feel free to chat with us if you’d like some advise on which one would suit you best!
