COM2175 - Programming Essentials in Python (PCAP)

Course Description

The Python PCAP course continues where Python PCEP ended. This hands-on course offers skills-based experience and prepares you for the PCAP exam.

• PCAP - Certified Associate in Python programming

According to the Python Institute, "This certification measures your ability to accomplish coding tasks related to the basics of programming in the Python language and the fundamental notions and techniques used in object-oriented programming."

Students in this course are expected to know Python programming language basics or have completed the first course.

Skills covered in this course will be focused on object-oriented programming techniques such as creating modules and packages, working with file inputs and outputs, importing external packages and sharing packages. Training opens a path to the developer's career.

After completing Python PCEP and PCAP, you will learn these core skills:

• Think algorithmically to analyze a problem and translate it for a computer to process
• Design, develop, and improve multi-module computer programs
• Analyze and model real-life problems in Object-Oriented Programming categories
• Understand a programmer's work in the software development process
• Learn how a program is executed in a computer environment

Required preparation: Completion of Python PCEP course or PCEP certification or equivalent knowledge and experience required. Access to a computer with a camera and microphone and robust Internet to use course materials and labs is a must.
