This AI training course provides IT professionals with a foundational understanding of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its practical applications within modern IT environments. Designed for those with a technical background but limited AI exposure, the course demystifies core AI and machine learning concepts and explores how these technologies are transforming infrastructure management, cybersecurity, automation, and cloud services.

NOTE: This course will come with a slide deck as reference material and mainly consists of theory and demos.

 

How this course will help you

Is AI taking over your job? Not if you’re using it to your benefit. It’s true, AI can do many things that an IT professional can do as well, but it’s not as smart as you are. As of now, AI needs your help to get amazing results.

One important part of what it takes is that you ask it the right questions. It’s just like people, if you’re not specific enough in what you ask for, you might get an answer that isn’t very helpful.

The second part is that you need to make AI work for your benefit; you integrate it with all your personal knowledge. It’s easy to do; you keep your private data private, and you tell your AI system about it. That extends AI with all of your personal experience, while strictly keeping that personal experience private, assuming that you do it the right way.

If you’re a sysadmin-oriented IT professional, you might find yourself in a situation where you need to run the company’s own AI in the privacy of your own datacenter. Just learn these new skills, to ensure that you’re still relevant, even in a future dominated by AI.

What Our Clients Say

"Absolutely fantastic training. Thoroughly enjoyed it thanks to our highly enthusiastic tutor.  It wouldn't be an understatement to say that it was the best professional training that I have ever received."

 

Customised Linux with Networking

Live Online -  February 2022

 


“It was very positive. This course was 4 days but covered a semester worth of work if it was done in college. The labs were relevant and delegates were provided the lab/coursebook for further study and practice after the course finished. GuruTeam's course was excellent and provides a deeper understanding of the architecture and how it all works. The hands-on aspect was very helpful as it helped solidify the concepts as I went along."

“The experience was complete for me. I like how the training was sequenced - the slides organization, the examples and explanations and then the exercises. Time for exercises and support by the Instructor was great plus answering the questions and going out for answers and coming back with examples as brilliant. I loved how much I refreshed and how I learned and got inspired to improve stuff at work.”
