Course Details

Python is one of the most in-demand technical skills and one of the easiest programming languages to learn. With a syntax similar to the English language, Python is perfect for beginners.

It has numerous applications, from website development to big data analytics and visualisation. This course covers the fundamentals of Python syntax and computer programming.

This course is part one of a two-part Introduction to Python series. After completing 1A, we encourage you to proceed with Python Programming Course: Level 1B. We recommend enrolling in both courses to gain entry-level skills. Enrolment in both courses is not compulsory.

Please use the CCE Python self-assessment tool if you are unsure which course level to enrol in. Please ensure Anaconda Python is installed on your device before class. For further details, see 'Before the course'.

Suitable for professionals, students and academics and members of the public who want to learn programming foundations.

 

Prerequisites

It is assumed you have computer and data literacy knowledge to the level of performing basic data analysis tasks in Excel, i.e. basic (high school) algebra, percentages, probability, averages. No prior programming experience is required.

 

Delivery Modes

  • Face-to-face, presenter-taught training using your own device

  • Online training via the platform Zoom

 

Delivery Style

Face-to-face classes

These classes run in a classroom and you need to bring your own device with Anaconda Python installed. You should ensure it is fully charged as access to power is limited.
