As documented by Tarekh Belgasam

My name is Tarekh Bekgasam, and I’m originally from Libya, now living with my family in Ohio, USA. I currently work as Associate Consultant at KiE Square Analytics. Prior to this role, I’d worked at Honda since 2019, and have also enjoyed a rich experience in the field of teaching. I hold a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Washington State University.

I always had a passion for AI and machine learning (AI/ML) and knew its importance in the materials research field in which I worked. I realized that to become a subject matter expert in the same, I needed to upskill from a reputable course provider. That’s when I decided to enroll in Simplilearn’s Post Graduate Program (PGP) in AI And Machine Learning.

Successfully completing this program at Simplilearn introduced me to the many important advancements in the field of AI/ML. I was able to apply my knowledge and skills immediately on the job and was soon regarded as an expert in this field at the company I worked for.

Simplilearn was the best upskilling partner for me. As a result of PGP in AI/ML, I’m now confident about building my career. I’m using the tools I learned in the course while performing my duties in my new role, and I feel that the skills acquired from this certification will help me become even better.

Upskilling that Fits Your Goals and Your Life

I decided to upskill after realizing the advancements in the field of AI/ML and the need for the same in my field of work. I was motivated by his friends and colleagues to learn more about the emerging field, as it was the need of the hour. After comparing with competitors, I felt the course with Simplilearn was better when it comes to content and the support for easy self-paced learning.

The trainers are very professional and friendly. They have a wealth of knowledge in AI/ML and helped me a lot at the beginning of the course since I was completely new to it. Their constant support is something that made me confident in my ability to grasp the concepts and become a subject matter expert.

Simplilearn’s flexible format allowed me to rake courses while handling my daily activities and family time. I used to take the evening sessions and dedicate my weekends to learning. The self-paced recorded videos were a great help and allowed me to study in a way that cleared the doubts I had about whether I could actually be in this field.

A Message for Today’s Aspiring Professionals

You have to focus on your goal to ultimately reach the destination you aim for. I believe that discipline and dedication is the key to success. Upskilling plays a very important role in reaching your goals and staying ahead in your career.
