Before you sign up
Suits finance professionals new to generative AI who want an introduction tied to banking, investment and risk work. What stands out is the short format: four evening sessions (7.00 to 8.30pm) over two weeks, with a session on regulation and a University of Oxford certificate of attendance. The main caveat is that sessions are live and not recorded, so the full course must be attended. ACCA's Certificate in Artificial Intelligence for Finance Professionals, at £310, is a lower-cost, self-paced alternative.
What you'll learn
