Python Essentials: Intermediate
Who Should Attend?
IT Professionals, Data Analysts and Professionals
This course is to prepare for PCAP, (Python Certified Associate Programming)
certification that focuses on measuring the user’s ability to accomplish coding tasks related to the basics of programming in the Python language and the fundamental notions and techniques used in object-oriented programming.
Additionally, this certification shows that the user is familiar with general computer programming concepts like conditional execution, loops, Python programming language syntax, semantics, and runtime environment as well as with general coding techniques and object-oriented programming.
After this training, participants will be able to:
✓ Understand the fundamentals of Python programming
✓ Analyze and model real-life problems in OOP (Object Oriented Programming)
✓ Apply advanced techniques in data handling
✓ Develop functions using Python programming
