Python Essentials: learn Python from scratch

Sign up for the Python Essentials courses, dive into programming and learn Python from scratch!

The courses will prepare you for jobs and careers connected with widely understood software development, which includes not only creating the code itself as a junior developer, but also computer systems design and software testing.

Completing the courses can be a stepping-stone to learning any other programming language, and to explore technologies using Python as a foundation (e.g., Django).

Our introductory courses are distinguished by their affordability, friendliness, and openness to the student. They all start from the absolute basics, guiding you step by step to complex problems, making you a responsible software creator able to take different challenges in many position in the IT industry.

Who should enroll?

Anyone and everyone who wants to learn Python and modern programming techniques. The Python Essentials course series has been designed specifically for students with little or no prior knowledge of programming, especially:

  • students of secondary schools,
  • university students,
  • students of vocational schools,
  • aspiring programmers and anyone interested in learning programming.

The only preliminary requirement is the ability to use a personal computer and very basic knowledge in mathematics.

Why should you enroll?

To start programming in Python! Taking the introductory course gives you the opportunity to dive into computer programming with no specific prerequisites.

The main goal of the courses is to guide you from a state of complete programming illiteracy to a level of programming knowledge which allows you to design, write, debug, and run programs encoded in the Python language, and to understand the basic concepts of software development technology.

Are you ready to start changing the world for the better?

The courses’ added value is to create and develop an ability to analyze common problems in an algorithmic sense, and to see them as an input for computer processing. Moreover, some basic network programming techniques are presented, opening the path to the world of the Internet-Of-Things.
