Advanced Python training course description This course caters to network engineers aiming to enhance both their Python proficiency and network automation skills. Delving deeper into key areas such as netmiko, Nornir, and ncclient, we also focus on automating network testing and validation. Participants gain greater confidence working with Python functions, classes, objects, and error handling. The course additionally introduces more libraries like Scrapli, TTP, pyATS, Genie, pybatfish, and Suzieq, which cover parsing strategies, automation testing, validation, network analysis, observability, and telemetry. The curriculum also encompasses concurrency techniques. What will you learn Write Python modules and functions. Evaluate techniques to parse unstructured data. Use NETCONF filters. Handle Python errors effectively (try, assert…). Use postman. Automate testing and validation of the network. Use scrapli, Genie, batfish and Suzieq.

Overview The valuation of corporates is a fundamental skill required of a wide range of finance professionals including equity analysts, strategists, corporate finance executives, fund managers, PE/VC executives, and general bankers. The recent volatility of corporate valuations, combined with the emergence of new sectors, makes understanding the theory and practice of valuation essential. This practical course is taught using inter-active sessions that comprise lectures followed by short, practical, and interactive case studies and exercises to reinforce the concepts covered in each teaching session. Emphasis is placed on delegates gaining hands-on experience with various valuation techniques.

Overview Financial Analysis and reporting play a very important role within the organisation and its stakeholders. This course is designed to analyse the functions of financial reporting in communication and its effects on decision-making processes or managerial decisions. It will highlight the accounting and financial standards-setting process and its implication on the organisation globally. Financial Analysis and reporting discuss how accountants act as processors and purveyors of information for decision-making and the needs of those who use accounting information. It also looks at the role performed by accountants and notes the need to be aware of relevant regulatory and conceptual frameworks.
