Python Coding for Beginners (Exam Included)

Description

If you’re looking to start a career in Python coding, but don’t know where to begin, this might be for you. This course is aimed at absolute beginners that have never done any coding before. Early on in the course, you’ll learn what coding is, what certain types of languages are used for, specifically Python, and the types of careers available through learning Python.

Learn why programming is important.

What is Python?

Python is a programming language that was created in the early 1990s. Millions of people depend on Python to do things like run Instagram, and interact with apps like being able to click things on the screen. It also allows scientists to carry out complex things like test microchips and is used to build video games for mobile phones. Companies that use the Python programming language include Youtube, Facebook, Yahoo, NASA, and IBM.

Python can be used to develop different applications like web applications, graphic user interface based applications, software development applications, scientific and numeric applications, network programming, games, 3D applications, as well as other business applications.

What is Python and why you must learn it.

How does this course work?

The course is comprised of two main parts, which are self-paced. In part one, you’ll learn the foundations of coding. By the end of the first few lessons, you’ll be able to understand programming, write basic code, grasp programming concepts, think like a programmer, understand the tools in coding, have a better idea of careers available in coding, and gain practical experience by creating portfolio-worthy projects. In part two, you’ll complete the courses specific to Python in preparation to sit the final exam to gain your certification.

About the certification

Upon completion of this course and passing the exam, you’ll receive a Python Coding Specialist certification from Knowledge Pillars (KP). Hudson has teamed up with Knowledge Pillars to deliver the exam element of this course. The exam can be taken from the comfort of your own home or office.

Knowledge Pillars provides industry-leading certification exams aimed at coding students and industry professionals. Their online based coding exams assess a learner’s skills and knowledge gained during their course.

Coding certifications are highly sought after by potential employers, as they offer a unique credential reflecting a valid and in-demand unique skill set.

How long will it take me to complete this course?

Most beginners complete their foundation coding courses within 4-8 weeks, based on 10-15 hours of study per week.
