The course is designed for staff working in information technology, statistics or research departments at central banks and regulatory and supervisory authorities with an interest in applying machine learning methods with Python. It is not aimed at those who already have extensive and advanced knowledge of Python.

Indeed, little prior knowledge is expected, and the necessary Python skills are covered at the beginning, making the course suitable for previously inexperienced staff. It may be interesting for those who wish to switch from the programming language R to Python.
