Changes are possible. The course content is updated regularly.
After the course, you will have a comprehensive knowledge of programming with Python. You will be able to confidently use the programming language with its classes, libraries and functions. You will be able to use concepts such as generators, decorators and list comprehensions as well as efficiently analyse and visualize data. You will also work confidently with files and databases and create basic web applications with Flask, including a complete CRUD application.
You are also proficient in dealing with the requirements placed on a product, from determination, documentation and testing to administration. You know the most important terms as well as interfaces and key people.
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.
With the original "PCAP™ - Certified Associate Python Programmer" certificate, you will acquire meaningful proof of your professional advancement.
Complex IT systems have complex requirements - if these are not recognized and recorded correctly, this can lead to delays and costly errors during the process. The task of requirements management is therefore becoming increasingly important in numerous IT sectors.
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). Companies can also have their employees qualified via funding from Agentur für Arbeit (Qualifizierungschancengesetz).
