FAQs

What will you learn in this Python training?

This course covers the Python programming language from a very beginner level to a highly advanced level. You'll learn what the Python coding language is, what it's best for, how to write basic instructions in it, and how to develop complicated programs. You won't just hear about it though - this course has lots of simulations and practice environments.

Who should take this Python programming course?

There are very few people connected to IT who shouldn't know how to use Python. If you work in AI or machine learning, Python is one of the most popular languages in that space. Data analysts will love making their work easier and faster with Python. Of course programmers and developers should also know Python.

Is this training in developing with Python associated with any certifications?

No, rather than try to prepare you for an exam with memorization or cramming, this course is all about a fundamental understanding of the programming language and plenty of practice actually coding. There are many Python certifications that this course can help with, but it wasn't designed with any particular exam in mind.

What certification should you consider after taking this course in Python computer programming?

Some of the best Python certifications come from the Python Institute, and this course can help you prepare for many of them. The Certified Entry-level Python Programmer (PCEP) is a good starting place for someone who just needs to show a basic understanding of Python. Or the PCPP1 can help you specialize your expertise.

Why should you take this Python training?

You should take this Python course because there aren't many programming languages that are so popular, that do so much, and that are so valuable in almost any position. From web development to games development and on to network and server administration, all IT jobs are better when you know how to read and code in Python.

Who is this for?

This Python training is intermediate-level programming training, which means it was designed for new or experienced software developers, data analysts, IT professionals, or anyone trying to learn Python.

What our learners say

It feels like the best and the brightest people are training with you — and they are just hanging out with you and showing you the ropes.
John McCann | IT manager and CBT Nuggets learner
When learning a new technology, people sometimes build a wall that complicates the learning process because of the unknown. I like tearing down that wall — and having people fall in love with that technology.
Lalo Nunez | CBT Nuggets trainer since 2020
The more I put into learning, the more skills I’m going to have — and the better I’m going to be technically.
