PCAP – Programming Essentials in Python (DEVN1001)

No prerequisites.

Learn Python, the versatile programming language.

Python is a multi-paradigm programming language used by startups and tech giants like Google, Facebook, Netflix, and more. With intuitive, readable syntax, Python is a great first programming language to learn.

Programming skills open up careers in almost any industry and are required if you want to continue to more advanced and higher paying software development and engineering roles.

This course is a great place to start learning Python no prior programming knowledge required. Completing the course earns you a Statement of Achievement. It is split into two parts preparing you for two certifications:

Part 1 (PE1: 35 hours) prepares you for PCEP Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer Certification.

Part 2 (PE2: 40 hours) prepares you for PCAP Certified Associate in Python Programming Certification.

Candidates will learn these core skills:

• Ability to perform intermediate-level coding tasks in the Python language, including the ability to design, develop, debug, execute, and refactor multi-module Python programs, as well as measures their skills and knowledge related to analyzing and modeling real-life problems in OOP categories with the use of the fundamental notions and techniques available in the object-oriented approach.
• Think algorithmically how to analyze a problem and translate it for a computer to process.
• Design, develop, and improve multi-module computer programs.
• Analyze and model real-life problems in Object-Oriented Programming categories.
• Understand a programmer's work in the software development process.
• Learn how a program is executed in a computer environment.
• Gain skills to create and develop your own programming portfolio.
• Prepare for PCAP certification.

OR WHICH TYPE OF CAREER?
