Course Overview
How great would it be to write your own computer program? Python is a multi-paradigm programming language used by start-ups and tech giants like Google, Facebook, Netflix, and more. With intuitive, readable syntax, Python is a great first programming language to learn.
Programming skills open you up to careers in almost any industry and are required if you want to continue to more advanced and higher-paying software development and engineering roles.
This course is a great place to start learning Python – no prior programming knowledge is required. Completing the course earns you a Statement of Achievement. The course also helps you prepare for two Python programming certifications:
- PCEP – Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer Certification
- PCAP – Certified Associate in Python Programming Certification
Key Topics
In this course you will learn:
- the universal concepts of computer programming;
- the syntax and semantics of the Python language;
- practical skills in resolving typical implementation challenges;
- how to use the most important elements of the Python Standard Library;
- how to install your runtime environment;
- how to design, develop, test, and debug your own Python programs.
- how to adopt general coding techniques and best practices in your projects;
- how to process strings;
- how to use object-oriented programming in Python;
- how to import and use Python modules, including the math, random, platform, os, time, DateTime, and calendar modules;
- how to create and use your own Python modules and packages;
- how to use the exception mechanism in Python;
- how to use generators, iterators, and closures in Python;
- how to process files.
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 great. The trainers are always helpful and spot-on when responding to my questions in class, which I ask a lot since I really want to learn networking skills. As a student, I was working as an uber eats delivery driver and in between deliveries,.
I am absolutely satisfied with my choice to join NIT Australia with the Diploma of Information Technology Networking and the upcoming Advanced Diploma of Telecommunications Network Engineering. I believe this is a great start for my career in Australia. Regarding the course structure, it is not only focused on theories but.
Since I started my study program at NIT, I have been developing very important and exciting new skills, such as working with specific equipment and the physical infrastructure of internet connections. Most importantly, all trainers are very knowledgeable and talented, which has been making my experience incredible and unique. I can’t wait to.
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.
I am doing the Advanced Diploma of Telecommunications Network Engineering course to learn more about fibre technologies. Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technologies are going to be the future of Telecom. I am learning relevant information about how to manage fibre to complete an entire project using DWDM technologies. The.
I am very happy with the trainers and staff who have shown excellent support and kindness during my studies here at NIT. Elaine, the internship manager, is also working closely with me to prepare for the internship, which is arranged by NIT at no additional cost for IT students. I.
