Python Training

This Python training is a comprehensive hands on Python course intended for delegates with limited programming experience.

Python is a general-purpose high-level programming language whose design philosophy emphasises code readability.

Python aims to combine "remarkable power with very clear syntax", and its standard library is large and comprehensive. Its use of indentation for block delimiters is unusual among popular programming languages.

This two day instructor-led Python training course is intended for delegates with limited programming experience and who would like to learn to program using this useful and expressive language.

We also provide private and in-company Python courses. Call +44 (0) 1273 622272 to discuss.
