Python Programming Course

About the Python Programming course

Python is widely used across development, automation, and data-processing environments.

The Python Programming course covers the core language constructs and programming techniques required to work effectively with Python code. Topics include data structures, functions, program flow, and common language patterns.

The course is intended for delegates who already have programming experience or prior exposure to Python. It focuses on practical language usage, code organisation, and object-oriented concepts.

Delegate feedback

Feedback from delegates attending this course:
Renier was an awesome teacher. I really enjoyed his class – he makes the classes very interesting and very easy to get started with Python.

M. Bilankulu

Momentum Lecturer: Renier Virtual training
This is a second course I am attending with Renier as the instructor and he is great at what he does. He is patient and is always willing to go the extra mile to assist and make sure that we understand the content of the course and adds more value than what the book can explain. Much appreciated 🙂

T. Musi

BMW Lecturer: Renier Virtual training
This has been one of the best software courses I have attended, with the lecturer being extremely knowledgable in the subject of programming (in this case Python). Renier should of been my first C lecturer. A lot for extras or under the hood discussions was also done which is invaluable in improving programming knowledge.

R. Scharf

DetNet SA Lecturer: Renier Virtual training
100% this course was amazing. NEVER, have I attending a course where the lecturer explains concepts so well, in depth and breaks down every elements and why is there, why its used and what the real world example of it is. I was given example of how not to do things and 5-6 more example of how to do it another way, thanks you, this was the best.

M. Kobola

BMW Lecturer: Renier Virtual training
The virtual training was well organized and the approach and delivery mechanisms worked well. Renier is clearly passionate about IT and in particular, about programming; and came across as deeply knowledgeable about Python and how it fits in and relates to the the world in which it finds itself. He was very accommodating in handling attendees’ diverse backgrounds, current challenges, and needs; and in some instances, it was a good trip down memory lane! Thank you.

S. Naidoo

Standard Bank Lecturer: Renier Virtual training
The course was worth every minute. It has helped to get to grip with the language in quick and fun way. This was well worth the time and investment.
