Description

Explore the highly in-demand language of Python – one of the most desired skills in the industry!

Used throughout data science, computer vision, machine learning, and more, Python informs many of the everyday decisions that affect our lives. Businesses use the language for a variety of tasks, including data analytics, sales data visualization, and task automation. It’s used to create AAA games and special effects for blockbuster films, along with cutting-edge technologies such as smart cars and facial recognition.

Python features a simple syntax that reads almost like plain English – making it easy to learn, and allowing you to write data-heavy tasks quickly, easily, and efficiently. Whether you’re a professional developer or a hobbyist, Python has the flexibility needed to make your dream projects a reality.

No prior programming experience is needed to get started with this course – you’ll master the basics of the Python programming language, and learn techniques for working with data, program logic, and more. The in-demand skills that you’ll learn will act as the foundation for your future Python projects, and can be expanded upon to develop your own more advanced programs.

You will learn how to:

  • Store simple data values with variables
  • Manipulate data with operators
  • Save sets of data with lists, tuples, and dictionaries
  • Control logic flow with conditionals and loops
  • Set up program logic with functions
  • Work with classes and objects

… and more!

Who is this course for?

  • First-time coders wanting to dive into a language that is easy to read and learn
  • Self-learners interested in upskilling into a robust, multi-purpose coding language
  • Entrepreneurs seeking data science skills to enhance their business decisions
  • Innovators wanting to dive into the latest machine learning and AI technologies

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
