Advanced Python Programming Course

Knowing Python basics gets you started, but employers and clients pay for the skills that turn scripts into reliable software. Object-oriented design, databases, concurrency, testing and packaging are what separate someone who can write a quick script from someone who can build and maintain a real application, and they are exactly the skills this course develops. For working developers, analysts and administrators, advancing your Python is one of the most direct ways to take on bigger projects, write code others can depend on, and move into more senior development work.

Training with Logitrain means this course is delivered live in real time by an experienced trainer, in person in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane or live online anywhere in Australia. You keep the digital course material to refer back to as you code, practise questions help the concepts stick, and the price beat guarantee means you will not find the same training cheaper elsewhere. You choose how it fits your life, full-time over consecutive weekdays, or part-time on weeknights or weekends.

This is an advanced course, so you should already be comfortable writing Python, including using basic data types, control flow and writing simple scripts, and you should understand the ideas behind object-oriented programming. You do not need professional experience, but you do need the fundamentals in place.

If you are not there yet, the Python Programming Course covers everything you need and is the recommended starting point before this one.

There is no exam associated with this course. You receive a Certificate of Attendance to recognise the training you have completed.

If you started with the Python Programming Course, this advanced course completes the pair and rounds out your Python skills from the fundamentals through to building and shipping applications.

Logitrain Advanced Python Programming course material is included in digital format, covering object-oriented Python, graphical user interfaces, databases, network programming, threading, unit testing and packaging. You keep it after the course to use as a reference while you build.
