Python for Newcomers

Introduction to Programming

Python is currently one of the most popular and accessible programming languages. In this Python beginners' course, we take enough time to work through the basic concepts of programming with Python using simple examples.

This will give you the necessary basic knowledge that you can later use and deepen in areas such as data analysis, artificial intelligence or IT automation.

In addition, you will acquire the ability to communicate better in projects that involve programming.

Please note that this course is specifically designed for beginners and programming novices! If you already have previous knowledge of other programming languages, we recommend our 3-day course Python for programmers - basics for a quick transition.

Classroom training: Do you prefer the classic training method? A course in one of our Training Centers, with a competent trainer and the direct exchange between all course participants? Then you should book one of our classroom training dates!
Hybrid training: Hybrid training means that online participants can additionally attend a classroom course. The dynamics of a real seminar are maintained, and the online participants are able to benefit from that. Online participants of a hybrid course use a collaboration platform, such as WebEx Training Center or Saba Meeting. To do this, a PC with browser and Internet access is required, as well as a headset and ideally a Web cam. In the seminar room, we use specially developed and customized audio- and video-technologies. This makes sure that the communication between all persons involved works in a convenient and fault-free way.
Online training: You wish to attend a course in online mode? We offer you online course dates for this course topic. To attend these seminars, you need to have a PC with Internet access (minimum data rate 1Mbps), a headset when working via VoIP and optionally a camera. For further information and technical recommendations, please refer to.
Tailor-made courses: You need a special course for your team? In addition to our standard offer, we will also support you in creating your customized courses, which precisely meet your individual demands. We will be glad to consult you and create an individual offer for you.
