What you'll learn
A 24-hour masterclass on forecasting and anomaly detection — from classical methods (ARIMA, exponential smoothing) to multivariate machine-learning forecasting. You leave able to choose the right model for a series and quantify how good the forecast really is.
You work on real time series — decomposing them, fitting ARIMA and smoothing models, then moving to machine-learning and multivariate forecasting and anomaly detection. The capstone forecasts real demand or operations data.
- Analysts and data scientists forecasting demand, sales or operations.
- Finance, supply-chain and operations professionals.
- Analyze and decompose real time-series data.
- Build classical forecasts with ARIMA and exponential smoothing.
- Apply machine learning to univariate and multivariate forecasting.
- Detect anomalies in time-series data.
- Select and validate the right forecasting model.
- Hands-on labs throughout the program (70% project-based).
- A capstone project demonstrating end-to-end skills.
- Build accurate forecasts and detect anomalies in real time-series data.
- Choose the right model for univariate and multivariate problems.
Globally accredited certificate issued by Epsilon AI Learning — USA, with a unique Certificate ID and EPSILON ID. Awarded on 80% attendance, 80% final exam, and a capstone project.

Frequently asked questions
What background is expected?
Basic Python and statistics help, as you fit models to real time series and interpret the results from the first module.
Does it cover classical and machine-learning methods?
Yes — from ARIMA and exponential smoothing to machine-learning and multivariate forecasting, plus anomaly detection.
What can I forecast with it?
Demand, sales, operations and other time-based signals — the capstone forecasts a real demand or operations dataset.
How much does the program cost?
Pricing depends on the format you choose — online, onsite, or a corporate cohort — and any current offers. Fill in the registration form on this page and an Epsilon team member will contact you with the exact price and the options that fit you.
When does the next cohort start?
New cohorts open regularly across online and onsite formats. Fill in the registration form and our team will contact you with the next available start dates that fit your schedule.
Is the program online or onsite, and in which language?
Both — Epsilon runs live, instructor-led sessions online and onsite, plus dedicated corporate cohorts. Programs are delivered in English and Arabic, with bilingual materials and instructor support. Tell us your preference in the registration form.
What certificate will I receive?
A globally accredited certificate from Epsilon AI Learning — USA, carrying a unique Certificate ID and Epsilon ID. It is awarded on 80% attendance, an 80% final exam, and a completed capstone project, and it is verifiable online.
