Professional Certificate in Artificial Intelligence for Managers
FAQAbout the Programme
The Certificate Program in Artificial Intelligence for Managers is a 10-month, fully online program designed to equip professionals with the knowledge and skills required to understand, apply, and lead AI initiatives in their organizations.
Unlike technical AI courses, this programme is specifically curated for managers and decision-makers who need to bridge the gap between data science teams and business strategy. Participants will not only learn the underlying concepts of AI, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Generative AI, but also develop the ability to evaluate opportunities, assess risks, and design business solutions powered by AI.
This programme is structured around 8 sequential modules, ensuring a smooth progression from foundational concepts to advanced applications, supported by hands-on tools like Python, SPSS, Excel, and Tableau. By integrating Harvard Business Publishing case studies, peer-to-peer discussions, and practical assignments, the programme fosters experiential learning that goes beyond classroom theory. It also includes continuous assessments ensuring that learners get certified with both conceptual clarity and applied expertise.
On successful completion, learners will earn a Professional Certificate from IIM Bangalore—one of India’s top-ranked management institutions—joining a network of high-achieving alumni across industries.
