This online short course in Python will give you a foundation of knowledge that you can build on if you wish to develop entry level IT skills.

The purpose of this course is to introduce you to Python basics in order to construct and analyse code for various purposes. You will cover the following topics:

Operations using Data Types and Operators
Flow Control with Decisions and Loops
Input and Output Operations
Code Documentation and Structure
Troubleshooting and Error Handling
Operations using Modules and Tools

COURSE DURATION:

As you work through your course material in your own free time, you can pace your studies and determine how quickly you want to progress. As a standard measure, you will have access to the online student portal for a period of 12 months from your date of registration.

COURSE START DATES:

You can start studying this course at any time of the year — there are no specific registration dates! Once you have completed your registration, you will receive your login credentials with 3-5 business days and can start your studies.

COURSE INFORMATION:

This online short course consists of six modules. The course objectives are:

Operations using Data Types and Operators
- Evaluate expressions to identify the data types Python assigns to variables
- Perform data and data type operations
- Determine the sequence of execution based on operator precedence
- Select operators to achieve the intended results
Flow Control with Decisions and Loops
- Construct and analyse code segments that use branching statements
- Construct and analyse code segments that perform iteration
Input and Output Operations
- Construct and analyse code segments that perform file input and output operations
- Construct and analyse code segments that perform console input and output operations
Code Documentation and Structure
- Document code segments
- Construct and analyse code segments that include function definitions
Troubleshooting and Error Handling
- Analyse, detect, and fix code segments that have errors
- Analyse and construct code segments that handle exceptions
- Perform unit testing
Operations using Modules and Tools
- Perform basic operations by using built-in modules
- Solve complex computing problems by using built-in modules

ASSESSMENT:

For each module you will be required to complete both a pre-assessment and a post-assessment to test your knowledge and competency.

COURSE EXIT OUTCOMES:

Once you have completed this online short course you should be able to recognise, write, and debug Python code that will logically solve a problem.

You will receive a Certificate of Competence from Oxbridge Academy Online.
