TESTIMONIALS

Get inspired with our students' stories


I recommend the Python Essentials course because of its didactic methodology, and the exercises and labs which provide students with a good understanding of each covered topic. They are very clear and detailed, and gave me a great experience on my Python programming journey.

Fabio Miguel Blaska da Fonseca

Cross-Product Lead Consultant at DELL Technologies, Brazil

The Python Essentials course was very helpful. The syllabus is great – I knew exactly what I had to learn for the PCAP exam. The examples and exercises were very interesting and useful at the same time, and they helped me better understand the problems that must be solved.

Alexandra Mihaela

DevOps Engineer at Gameloft, Romania

At the OU, we have seen how the employability of OpenEDG's Python certification has underpinned the popularity of our linked Microcredential, it is the value that PCAP and PCEP offer that makes the difference.

Andrew Smith

Senior Lecturer, The Open University, UK

I started the Python Certification Program featured by Python Institute to prepare myself for the Python Entry Level Certification. I strongly recommend this certification program and encourage anybody who wants to start a career in this matter – you won't be disappointed. With this program completed, I could obtain my PCEP certification and prepared for the PCAP as well, and also implemented some projects in my current job already.

Pablo Quesada

Global Operations Manager, San José, Costa Rica

We are using Python Essentials (PCEP and PCAP) and Python Advanced (PCPP) study materials to train our students. Our students have progressed from zero experience to entering the marketplace as junior programmers after passing the exams from the Python Institute. The support we received from the OpenEDG team was more than excellent. Great professionals.

Sotiris Pafitis

CEO at SCP – School of Certified Professionals, Cyprus

In my job as an Analytics Associate at PwC, I work a lot with Python, and working with classes and functions became a must-have.
This is where you do a great job: you give plenty of explanations, they are easy to digest, and always accompanied by simple code examples, but never too much theory in the form of pure text.
