This foundational course on Q-Learning equips you with the essential knowledge to understand reinforcement learning concepts and apply them in real-world AI scenarios. Learn the fundamentals of Q-Learning, including Q-values, rewards, episodes, temporal difference, and the exploration vs. exploitation trade-off. Progress to applying Q-Learning by determining Q-values and guiding agent decision-making. Gain practical skills through step-by-step guided demos, where you’ll implement Q-Learning and see how agents optimize their actions in environments like robotics, gaming, and intelligent systems. Build the confidence to design adaptive AI models that learn and improve over time.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Understand Q-Learning: Explain its role in reinforcement learning and decision-making
Explore Key Components: Q-values, rewards, episodes, and temporal difference
Apply Strategies: Balance exploration vs. exploitation for optimal agent behavior
Implement Algorithms: Build and test Q-Learning models with guided demos

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
