Course Code: PYP1
Duration: 4 days
Python is an object oriented rapid development language deployed in many scenarios in the modern world.
This Python Programming 1 course is designed to give delegates the knowledge to develop and maintain Python scripts using the current version (V3) of Python.
There are many similarities between Python V2 and Python V3. The skills gained on this course will allow the delegate to develop their own skills further using Python V2 or V3 to support the development and maintenance of scripts.
The Python Programming 1 course comprises sessions dealing with syntax, variables and data types, operators and expressions, conditions and loops, functions, objects, collections, modules and packages, strings, pattern matching, exception handling, binary and text files, and databases.
Similarly, the course is targeted to closely follow the official Python Institute curriculum for certification.
Exercises and examples are used throughout the course to give practical hands-on experience with the techniques covered.
This course aims to provide the delegate with the knowledge to be able to produce Python scripts and applications that exploit all core elements of the language including variables, expressions, selection and iteration, functions, objects, collections, strings, modules, pattern matching, exception handling, I/O, and classes.
The Python Programming 1 course is aimed at those who want to improve their Python programming skills, and for developers/engineers who want to migrate to Python from another language, particularly those with little or no object-oriented knowledge. For those wishing to learn Python and have no previous knowledge of programming, they should look to attend our foundation course Introduction to Programming - Python.
The delegate will learn and acquire skills as follows:
This Python Programming 1 course is an excellent choice for delegates preparing to take the following Python Institute exam:
This course together with the Python Programming 2 course is an excellent choice for delegates preparing to take the following Python Institute exam:
Attending these courses and studying the associated reference materials can form part of the preparation to achieve certification. Experience, practice, self-study and aptitude are also key requirements for exam success.
Before taking any exam, ensure you have the recommended experience. The Python Institute website lists all exam requirements and these are updated regularly.
Exams are not included as part of the course.
Delegates attending this course should have some previous programming experience and be able to define general programming concepts including: compilation, execution, variables, arrays, sequence, selection, iteration, functions, objects, and classes. Moreover delegates should be able to navigate the filesystem (on the command line ideally), edit and save text files and browse the web. This knowledge can be obtained by attendance on the pre-requisite Introduction to Programming - Python course.
The course is spot on for those who've maybe utilised python many moons ago and need a refresher, or for someone who's given Python a go and is now ready to "Look under the bonnet" a bit more. I've found it to be a fantastic refresher on training I received over 10 years ago.

The course was great, at the right level for me and I learnt a lot. Stuart was a great teacher; he explained everything clearly and was always happy to answer questions and show further examples.

Excellent training for Musie, good space and very good interactive session which gives hands on experience as well.

Incredible learning experience. The course material was well structured and the instructor's teaching style made even complex topics easy to understand

Musie is one of the best tutors I have ever come across - so enthusiastic and knowledgeable - amazing .... Musie - thanks so much - I appreciate I did not have the pre-req for this course but you made it inclusive and very interesting. I really appreciated the time spent and the knowledge you shared. I learned a lot and have taken a lot of courses what an amazing brain you must have!
Arun - Cloud Engineer - Government
Great course, and very well delivered. Professional and experience trainer. Much preferred Stuart's code-along delivery style, rather than the traditional powerpoint and talking from the presenter, then an expectation for separate independent work. Stuart delivered well with a very mixed group of abilities. He enabled building of confidence in those new to the language, and provided valuable critique of those with prior experience who were trying to push themselves further, beyond what was necessarily prescribed by the course.
