IBM Machine Learning Professional Certificate is a paid intermediate course from IBM, online. It's a paid subscription; the price is not recorded yet. It ends with a professional certificate.
Suits learners with some Python, maths and statistics who want a hands-on grounding in classic machine learning algorithms. What stands out is the project focus, with labs in every course and a capstone. The main caveat is the time estimate: the page says 3 months at 10 hours a week in one place and 42 to 60 hours of study in another. A subscription is needed and no price is shown. For a more maths-led route, compare the Machine Learning Specialization from DeepLearning.AI.
IBM's six-course Professional Certificate on Coursera for learners with some maths, statistics and Python. It covers exploratory data analysis, regression, classification, unsupervised learning, deep learning and reinforcement learning, using libraries such as scikit-learn, Keras and TensorFlow, and ends with a capstone project and an IBM digital badge.
