Dr. Alvin Ang was my trainer when I attended the Data Analytics and Deep Learning course at Tertiary Infotech Pte Ltd. He is very enthusiastic and passionate about sharing his deep knowledge of Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence with the class. He goes beyond the syllabus to share with the class many real world applications of how AI is being used (e.g. using Machine Learning and Machine Vision to identify fake luxury goods) and future job trends in the Data Analytics field. He is also very patient and clear in explaining the key concepts to the class. I have benefited greatly from his teaching and extensive sharing and would strongly recommend his course to people who are interested in picking up Data Analytics. (Posted on 6/26/2022)1.
