The Reinforcement Learning Fundamentals Training Course offered by Imperial Corporate Training Institute is a comprehensive artificial intelligence training course designed to provide participants with a strong foundation in reinforcement learning (RL) concepts, algorithms, and practical applications. Reinforcement learning is one of the most powerful branches of machine learning, enabling intelligent systems to learn optimal behaviours through interaction with dynamic environments. From robotics and autonomous vehicles to finance and gaming, reinforcement learning is transforming industries by allowing machines to make data-driven decisions in real time.
This course provides a structured and practical pathway into reinforcement learning, combining mathematical intuition, algorithmic understanding, and hands-on implementation. Participants will explore core principles such as Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), value functions, policy optimisation, model-free and model-based methods, and deep reinforcement learning. Through practical case studies, simulations, and applied projects, learners will develop the confidence to design, implement, and evaluate reinforcement learning models in real-world business and research environments.
