Python, Data Engineer and AWS Cloud Administrator

Free of cost

by funding

With Python, you will master an easy-to-learn programming language that is often used as a scripting language. The course then shows you the tasks of a data engineer: structuring and providing data, selecting the right software and hardware architecture and assessing the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in this area. You will also have the specialist knowledge required to operate the AWS Cloud.

AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner CLF-C02



Changes are possible. The course content is updated regularly.

Experience with databases is a prerequisite. A good knowledge of English is required.

After the course, you will have a compact, basic knowledge of programming with Python. You will be able to use the programming language with its classes, libraries and functions with confidence.

You are also proficient in processes relating to the consolidation, preparation, enrichment and forwarding of data.

After this course, you will also have the specialist knowledge required to operate in the cloud. You will also have the technical experience required to provision, secure and automate environments regardless of the provider's solution.

IT apprentices, IT specialists, programmers and specialists with relevant professional experience.

The versatility of Python makes employees with the relevant skills attractive in numerous industries and companies. People with programming skills in Python are particularly sought after in web development, machine learning and data analysis.

As companies need to manage and structure ever-increasing volumes of data to evaluate and target their business processes, skills in data development and construction are in demand in all industries.

Furthermore, specialists with cloud knowledge are sought after in various business areas, for example in sales, product management or project management. This knowledge is particularly in demand in companies that want to communicate more effectively with technical teams and customers. After the course, you can provide meaningful proof of your new skills with the "AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner" certificate.

Didactic concept

Your lecturers are highly qualified both professionally and didactically and will teach you from the first to the last day (no self-study system).

You will learn in effective small groups. The courses usually consist of 6 to 25 participants. The general lessons are supplemented by numerous practical exercises in all course modules. The practice phase is an important part of the course, as it is during this time that you process what you have just learned and gain confidence and routine in its application. The final section of the course involves a project, a case study or a final exam.

 

Virtual classroom alfaview®

Lessons take place using modern alfaview® video technology - either from the comfort of your own home or at our premises at Bildungszentrum. The entire course can see each other face-to-face via alfaview®, communicate with each other in lip-sync voice quality and work on joint projects. Of course, you can also see and talk to your connected trainers live at any time and you will be taught by your lecturers in real time for the entire duration of the course. The lessons are not e-learning, but real live face-to-face lessons via video technology.

 

The courses at alfatraining are funded by Agentur für Arbeit and are certified in accordance with the AZAV approval regulation. When submitting a Bildungsgutscheinor Aktivierungs- und Vermittlungsgutschein, the entire course costs are usually covered by your funding body.
Funding is also possible via Europäischen Sozialfonds (ESF), Deutsche Rentenversicherung (DRV) or regional funding programs. As a regular soldier, you have the option of attending further training courses via Berufsförderungsdienst (BFD).
