Presentation
Centrale Méditerranée, La Plateforme_, and the Institut 3IA are partnering to offer a high-level professional training program in Artificial Intelligence and data management: the postgraduate diploma CentraleDigitalLab@LaPlateforme_, specialized in business innovation and digital transformation.
Objectives
The objective is to develop, within a project-oriented pedagogy, scientific skills (artificial intelligence, data science) and a work methodology focused on innovation.
This one-year program is entirely taught in English and aims to train professionals in digital innovation and transformation (AI project manager, data scientist, data analyst, etc.):
Tech skills: Machine Learning, data science, Deep Learning
Project skills: rapid prototyping, agile methods, test-driven development, continuous integration, version control (git), and developer tools
Soft skills: teamwork, direct client communication, change management
The program begins with an intensive refresher course in mathematics and programming, followed by 3 weeks of courses in AI and Data Science, SCRUM methodology, etc. To enrich their experience, students in the program complete:
- 2 projects with partner companies
- An internship in France or abroad
The completion of 60 ECTS credits is required to obtain the CentraleDigitalLab@LaPlateforme_ postgraduate diploma.

Program
The training program is divided into two phases:
**Phase 1: Active Learning**
- **Courses**: Intensive skill enhancement with a period of foundational learning followed by in-depth study.
- **Projects (30 ECTS)**: Each project is carried out by a team of 3 to 5 students over a 6 to 9-week sprint, culminating in a collective submission. After the kickoff meeting, students maintain direct and regular contact with their client, a company seeking their assistance for a transformation need or technical challenge (e.g., artificial intelligence, connected objects, high-performance computing).
**Skills acquired by the end of Phase 1 across all projects, assessed by a panel:**
- **Technological Innovation**: Modeling and designing a solution or prototype addressing a real-world problem.
- **Development**: Developing a software program with an artificial intelligence or data science component.
- **Project Management**: Managing a team project using agile methodologies.
- **Communication**: Presenting and promoting their work effectively and developing a strong client relationship.
Skills are assessed according to the following levels: Novice, Intermediate, Competent, Advanced, and Expert (Competency framework provided at the start of the session). A level of "Competent" or higher in each skill is required to earn the 30 ECTS credits.
**Phase 2 (30 ECTS)**: Internship in a company, in France or abroad, lasting 5 to 6 months.
The internship aims to further enhance the skill levels.
