SUMMARY:Python Programming Course @ Edinburgh (Face to Face\, Blended\, Virtual Learning available)
DESCRIPTION:Course Introduction \nPython has been in high demand for an extended period due to several key reasons. Foremost\, it is highly productive compared to other programming languages such as C++ and Java. Python is widely recognized for its simple programming syntax\, code readability\, and natural language-like commands\, making it significantly easier and more efficient to code. As a general-purpose programming language often referred to as utilitarian\, Python is designed to be both easy to read and write. This characteristic makes it particularly popular among beginners looking to establish a career in software development. \nThis Python course is ideal for individuals aspiring to build a career in the software development sector. The course primarily focuses on Python 3 while also providing learners with an understanding of Python 2. This ensures that students are equipped with the necessary skills to work with legacy applications that are still in use by organizations relying on Python 2\, thereby enhancing their adaptability in the industry. \nPrerequisites \n There is no requirement of programming experience before joining this course. \n\nBasic computer literacy: Familiarity with using a computer\, installing software\, and basic text editing.\nIndividuals must have ability to use computer with ease and good typing skills.\nCuriosity and willingness to learn.\n\nCourse Objectives \n By the end of this course\, you will: \n\nUnderstand the fundamentals of programming\, focusing on Python’s syntax and structure.\nWrite simple to intermediate Python scripts to automate tasks and solve problems.\nGain proficiency in working with variables\, data types\, loops\, conditionals\, and functions.\nLearn how to manipulate data using lists\, dictionaries\, sets\, and tuples.\nExplore basic file handling\, error handling\, and debugging techniques.\nGrasp the basics of object-oriented programming (OOP) in Python.\nUtilise Python libraries for real-world applications\, including math\, file processing\, and string manipulation.\nBuild a foundation to explore more advanced topics like data science\, machine learning\, and web development.\n\nWho is this course for? \n\nBeginners: No prior programming experience is required. The course is structured to start from the basics and gradually build up your skills.\nIntermediate learners: Those with a basic understanding of programming concepts but new to Python.\nAnyone looking to use Python: Whether for automation\, scripting\, web development\, or data science\, Python’s simplicity and power make it useful in many domains.\n\nExams & Recommended Training \nVendors Certifications Opportunity (Python institute): \nAfter completing this course students can also proceed with following Python Institute certifications for the vendor’s certifications. \nPCEP – Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer Certification \nPCAP – Certified Associate in Python Programming Certification \nPlease note that the cost of these vendors exams will be borne by the learner and is not covered by the funding. \nSQA Framework: \nUpon successful completion of this course\, you will be eligible to sit for the PDA Software Development SCQF Level 7 exams. By passing these exams\, you will receive the Professional Development Award (PDA) certificate from the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA). All exam costs are covered within the provided funding. \nHands on Experience \nThis course includes practical labs integrated throughout its duration\, providing learners with hands-on experience in Python programming. Students will work on building applications from the ground up\, in addition to smaller programming tasks that are closely aligned with the topics covered in each module. The course aims to enhance learners’ problem-solving abilities in the realm of programming. \nBy the end of the course\, learners will have developed the foundational skills necessary to confidently explore other programming languages with ease. These practical exercises are specifically designed to strengthen familiarity with Python’s core concepts\, ensuring that learners can apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios. \n\nBasic Python and Console Interaction e.g.\, printing string and getting input from the console\nIndentations in Python\nVariables e.g.\, naming conventions\nConditions e.g.\, Boolean\, if else statement\, comparison operator\,\nLoops e.g.\, for loop\, while loop\, nested loops\nFunctions and Exceptions e.g.\, functions and namespace\, I/O parameters\, exceptions\nStrings e.g.\, Indexing\, slicing\, concatenation\, strings and for loop\nOther Data Structures e.g.\, Tuples\, lists\, dictionaries\,\nProjects e.g.\, class-based projects/homework\nFinal Assessment e.g.\, unit specification-based project\n\nNote: Quick and short quizzes will be taken during/after lessons. \nClasses Duration: \nThis course will be delivered 3 to 4 hours a day every week\, one full classroom and will run for 16 weeks. \nModes of Learning: \nYou have the option of undertaking this course via following learning modes: \n\nFace to Face Classroom based Learning: You will attend the class each week on the day and time mentioned above.\nVirtual Learning: Live traditional face to face class will broadcast to all virtual learners each week on a specified time.\nBlended Learning: Mixture of Face to face and Virtual learning (must inform when joining the course).\neLearning/online version is available.

SUMMARY:Data Analytics Course @ Edinburgh (Classroom\, blended\, virtual learning available)
DESCRIPTION:Introduction: \n\n\nBusinesses and organisations rely on data analysis to make critical strategic choices in today’s data-driven environment; therefore\, data analysis becomes crucial to the survival and development of every company these days. Organisations may make thoughtful\, well-informed decisions with the aid of data analysis. Expert data analysts are in high demand right now. Analysing data collections to identify trends and make judgments about the facts they contain is known as data analytics (DA). More often than not\, specialist hardware and software are used to do data analytics. To help businesses\, make better business decisions\, data analytics tools and methodologies are widely employed in the commercial sector. Analytics tools are also used by scientists and researchers to support or refute scientific models\, ideas\, and hypotheses. \n\n\nTableau is an extremely valuable tool in data analytics because it transforms complex data into clear\, actionable insights. \n\n\nTableau allows users to create interactive charts\, graphs\, and dashboards that make complex data easy to understand. This helps identify patterns\, trends\, and outliers quickly.\nIt can connect to a wide range of data sources\, including spreadsheets\, databases\, and cloud services\, enabling seamless data analysis across systems.\nWith its intuitive\, drag-and-drop interface\, Tableau enables even those without technical backgrounds to explore and analyse data effectively.\nUsers can filter\, drill down\, and explore data in real time\, supporting deeper understanding and better decision-making.\nDashboards and reports can be securely shared with colleagues or stakeholders\, ensuring everyone has access to the same insights.\nTableau can quickly process large data sets and update visualisations automatically as new data becomes available.\n\n\nTableau supports data analytics by making it easier to explore\, understand\, and communicate insights\, ultimately enabling better\, data-driven decisions. \n\n\nPrerequisite: \n\n\nNo prerequisite\, however basic Data Sciences excel\, SQL and Tableau knowledge would be helpful but not mandatory. \n\nModes of Learning: \nYou have the option of undertaking this course via following learning modes: \n\nFace to Face Classroom based Learning: You will attend the class each week on the day and time mentioned above.\nVirtual Learning: Live traditional face to face class will broadcast to all virtual learners each week on a specified time.\nBlended Learning: Mixture of Face to face and Virtual learning (must inform when joining the course).\n\nHow to apply for the Course Funding from SAAS PTFG: \nSAAS Part Time full funding is available for this course and the course training will be totally free for eligible candidates only.
