Program Abstract

REF: PY-INTRO 6
Curriculum aligned to the latest Exam Outline.
Format Live, Instructor-Led
Duration 2

Zero to Python Code in 2 Days.

This intensive 2-day boot camp takes you from zero programming knowledge to writing working Python applications. You’ll learn Python 3 syntax, data types and structures, conditional logic and loops, functions, classes, and modules, plus file I/O and error handling. Each topic comes with hands-on labs that build toward a complete program you write yourself. No prior coding experience required, you just need a laptop and the willingness to put in the keystrokes.

No Coding Background Needed.

We assume zero programming experience. Setup, syntax basics, and core concepts all start from the ground up. If you can use a spreadsheet, you can take this class.

You Write Real Code Every Day.

Lab time runs roughly 50/50 with instruction. You don’t just watch Python, you write it. Working code from day one.

Build a Complete Program.

By the end of the two days, you’ll have built a working Python application that performs real operations on real data. Not toy examples, a real foundation you can adapt for your own work.
