Welcome! My name's Adrian and I'm a professional Software Developer. If you already know basic Python and want to take another step with your skills, then you've just found an excellent course for that! Along the way, you will also create three practical Python programs!
According to statistics, Python is in the top 3 programming languages all around the world. It is much easier and quicker to learn that most other languages. At the same time, it's extremely popular among software developers, data analysts and other IT professions. All of this makes it an excellent choice for your first programming language.
COURSE OVERVIEW
In this course, you'll learn intermediate-level Python 3 and you'll get prepared for the Certified Associate in Python Programming exam (PCAP). You will need basic Python skills (entry-level PCEP exam knowledge) to start this course. I'll show you how to install Python and all the necessary tools. You will code along with me andhave a chance to write three practical programs to practice your skills.
There are 5 exam blocks when you sit the PCAP exam. Consequently, this course has 5 main modules, each one focusing on a different exam block. At the end of each module, you'll have a chance to solve an exam quiz to check your skills.

I took this course as a preparation for the PCAP exam and I passed with 91%. Course was well structured for me, the lector is great. I had no problem with exercises or the tests. Really appreciate mock exam at the end, gives a nice overview of the actual test. I had some previous experience with python and also it was worth spending time on another course with just practice tests here on Udemy. So overall very satisfied.

The content and material is to the point and supports hands on training, with all the necessary details and explanations. And the mock-up test is totally pragmatic and realistic, testing our knowledge in depth, not just superficially!
