TESTIMONIALS
We believe in student satisfaction. Here are some testimonials by our worthy users.
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 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
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.
Jan Bieck
Data Analytics Associate at PwC Deutschland, Germany
I had a really good experience with the PCEP certification process. The learning content on Edube Interactive was clear, well-organized, and easy to follow. I especially liked the interactive exercises and the Sandbox, which helped me practice and get a good idea of what to expect in the final exam. The TestNow platform was also simple and easy to use. What I liked most was that everything worked directly in the browser, without needing to download or install any additional software. Overall, I think OpenEDG did a great job making the whole learning and certification process smooth and convenient.
Khalil Dayoub
Data Analyst, Germany
This course helped me build a solid foundation in Python, especially as an accountant with no prior programming background. It played a significant role in preparing me for further studies and contributed to my successful admission to a Master of Data Science program.
Cherry Po
Associate Financial Manager, China
I took the PCAT exam to validate my background in Python testing. Passing it confirmed my expertise and gave me extra confidence in my skills. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to make their experience visible and verifiable.
