Python Programming Courses
What are Python programming courses?
Python programming courses are educational programs that aim to teach students the basics and advanced concepts of the Python programming language. These courses are designed to help students develop the skills they need to write, test, and debug Python code.
PurpleTutor offers some special Python programming courses tailored to meet the needs of different types of students, including beginners, intermediate learners, and advanced users. In short, we offer Python for everybody. Our Python programming courses are designed to help students achieve specific goals, such as automating repetitive tasks, data analysis, web development, or machine learning.
For students wishing to learn Python core concepts, the core Python Programming course functions as a Python crash course, enabling them to kickstart their Python coding journey.
What will you learn in our Python programming courses?
Our Python programming courses have been categorized according to the age of the student.
These are the 3 categories available:
- Age group 9 – 11 years – Young Learners Course (YL)
- Age group 12 – 15 years – Early Achievers Course (EA)
- Age group 15+ years – Young Professionals Course (YP)
In the first 2 categories – YL and EA, students start with a course to learn basic Python using the Python Turtle library. This Python for beginner’s course teaches the student basic Python and also focuses on developing their problem-solving and algorithm building skills.
The Python for beginners course will teach the student:
- how to write code for creating pictures in Turtle, using the coordinate system.
- to understand and use loops, conditionals and functions.
After completion of the basic level course, the student moves to the second course which is the advanced level course.
The advanced level Python course will teach your child how to:
- create and manage data structures like Strings, Lists, Dictionaries, Sets and Tuples.
- generate and apply random numbers for making game projects.
- create GUI-Graphical User Interface projects with Tkinter.(For EA course).
The third category of our Python programming courses is the Core Python course.
The Core Python Programming course is a Python for beginner’s course for older students. It is primarily meant for students at the senior school and junior college level. In this course we cover the following topics:
- Basic syntax and data types in Python
- Control structures such as loops and conditionals
- Functions and modules
- Exception handling
- Data structures
- Sorting and searching algorithms
What are the benefits of taking up one of our Python programming courses?
There are several benefits for students who take up one of our Python programming courses.
- Our Python programming courses are designed to be fun and engaging, making it easy for students to learn and retain the information. With interactive activities and hands-on projects, the student will stay motivated and interested in the material.
- Problem-solving skills are improved when a student sets out to learn Python with us, as they learn how to think logically and creatively. With each project, the student will have to work through challenges and find solutions to problems, which will help build their confidence and critical-thinking abilities.
- Through our Python course, students will gain a valuable skill that can help them prepare for a career in technology. With the increasing demand for software developers, learning to code can open up a wide range of job opportunities in the future.
- Our Python programming courses allow students to express their creativity by building their own projects, such as games and animations. With each project, kids will have the freedom to explore their imagination and come up with their own ideas.
