Course overview

Have you done a data science or data analytics course already? Perhaps you know Power BI and Excel but want to add Python to your toolset.

This course will give you the foundations in Python and prepare you to study NPA Data Science with Python and R, or PDA Data Science, where you need Python skills. It's a transition course for those with little or basic Programming skills, to equip you to take on Data science courses that are built around Python or R.

The course is 14 weeks with workshops delivered online through MS Teams, one evening per week. You are required to study in your own time to complete the coursework.
