Python is omnipresent, people use numerous Python-powered devices daily, whether they realize it or not. There have been millions (well, actually billions) of lines of code written in Python, which means almost unlimited opportunities for code reuse and learning from well-crafted examples. What’s more, there is a large and very active Python community, always happy to help.
There are also a couple of factors that make Python great for learning:
- It is easy to learn – the time needed to learn Python is shorter than for many other languages; this means that it’s possible to start the actual programming faster;
- It is easy to use for writing new software – it’s often possible to write code faster when using Python;
- It is easy to obtain, install and deploy – Python is free, open and multiplatform; not all languages can boast that.
Completing this course can be a stepping-stone to learning any other programming language, and to exploring technologies using Python as a foundation (e.g., Django). The course is distinguished by its affordability, friendliness, and openness to the student.
The first part started from the absolute basics, guiding you step by step to more complex problems that will be explained in this part, making you a responsible software creator able to take on different challenges in many positions in the IT industry.

What our students say
about NIT
My experience at NIT has been very positive. The trainers are always helpful and respond quickly whenever I have questions, which helped me build strong networking skills. While working as a delivery driver, I used my free time to apply for jobs—and thanks to the knowledge I gained, I was offered a role as a digital marketing coordinator at a private company in Perth. I’m really grateful for the learning environment I received at NIT.
Conrado Pereira
I’m very satisfied with my decision to study the Diploma of IT Networking at NIT Australia. The course includes a good mix of theoretical learning and practical activities, which helps make the content easier to understand. The trainers are experienced, helpful, and always willing to assist students. Studying here has boosted my confidence, and I believe it will give me a competitive edge as I build my career in Australia.
Kieu Phuong
Since I joined NIT, I’ve developed a wide range of hands-on skills, especially related to internet infrastructure and networking equipment. The trainers are experienced and passionate, and their guidance makes learning enjoyable. Combining my background in Business Administration with my current IT studies, I now feel more confident and capable of pursuing a meaningful career.
Daniela Vasquez Alvarado
I was studying at a different college which I didn’t enjoy and I was scared I may have the same experience at NIT, but it was the opposite when I came here which I am happy about. I never thought I would understand programming but gradually I am gaining more knowledge in this field better than I ever thought I would. The trainers work very hard to ensure students get the help we need and I feel like we are a part of a family here.
Nikola Kirsty Parsons
I’m currently doing the Advanced Diploma of Telecommunications Network Engineering to gain more knowledge in fibre and DWDM technologies, which are the future of telecom. The trainers bring a lot of real-world experience, especially from working in the mining and telecom sectors. The classes are informative and well-structured. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone interested in modern networking solutions.
Rosario Merenda
I’ve had a very good experience at NIT thanks to the trainers and staff, who are always helpful and kind. Elaine, the internship manager, is also guiding me through the internship process, which is provided at no extra cost for IT students. What I appreciate most is how the school listens to students and continuously works to improve our overall experience. I truly feel supported here and would recommend NIT to others.
