SUMMARY:
Every type of digital system we use, either at home or in the office, has required programming to make it work. That’s why coding is such a valuable skill. This Python programming course will introduce you to the fascinating world of programming and teach you concepts such as object-oriented programming, data structures, and exception handling.
Python is currently the second most in-use programming language and can be employed for a wide range of applications, including data analytics. It is easier to write and read than most other major programming languages, making it an ideal language for new coders. You will learn to code from scratch, building your confidence with simple exercises and practice.
You will create reusable code using functions and call existing or custom packages, functions, and methods in your programming environment. You will discover Boolean logic and be able to filter information using looping and conditioning. With this practical understanding of Python language and its uses, you will be ready to take the next steps in your programming career!
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES:
Python skills can open up career paths to jobs such as Data Analyst, Data Scientist, Data Engineer, or Machine Learning Scientist. We have more advanced Python data analytics courses which will allow students to continue their learning after this course. Coding skills are also an advantage in other professional roles and can help you go for a promotion or transition into a different job. Coding enhances your problem-solving and decision-making skills, which are valued by employers regardless of your role or career stage.
ASSESSMENT AND CERTIFICATION
Learners will have a final project that will represent 100% of their total grading metric.
Your certificate will be issued electronically on a secure platform, with a link that you can share with employers and others wishing to verify your credentials. You’ll also be able to add the certification to your LinkedIn profile to demonstrate your achievement to your network as well as recruiters and potential employers searching for individuals with your skills and experience.
This course is not on the National Framework of Qualifications.
LEARNER PROFILE:
This course would suit anyone who has an interest in coding or its applications and would like a short, practical introduction. You do not need any special qualifications to take this course; if you have ever written a function in Excel, you’re ready to join the course and start coding in Python! Many of the coding concepts you will learn are transferable, should you wish to learn other programming languages in the future.
