Your Path to Certification
This certification course is designed to prepare you for real-world applications of the Python programming language. We’ll help you understand how to use Python to explore, analyze and visualize data, and to manipulate data using automated and repeatable processes. We begin with the Python programming environment and basic Python data types. We move ahead into programming with loops and conditional statements and how to write and execute key functions. We’ll cover advanced Python programming concepts using the standard Python library and dive into commonly used 3rd party libraries you can use for data analysis and real world problem solving.

- Built-in functions such as round, sorted, min, max and zip.
Expand on the basics covered in Course 1 and learn more advanced Python programming concepts. You’ll cover:
- Higher-order functions.
- Closures.
- Python Decorators.
- Importing modules.
- Reading/writing text files.
- Reading/writing CSV files.
- The ‘Decimal’ type as a more precise alternative to floats.
- Epochs, dates, times and timezones using native Python.
- The ‘math’, ‘statistics’ and ‘random’ standard library modules.
- Creating custom classes.
Continue on to focus on a number of commonly-used third-party libraries that are very useful in data analysis. These include:
- The ‘pytz’ and ‘dateutil’ libraries for dealing with dates, times and timezones.
- The ‘requests’ library to query Web APIs and ingest JSON data.
- The ‘Numpy’ library for highly efficient manipulation of arrays and matrices.
- The ‘Pandas’ library for easy and powerful data table manipulations.
- The ‘Matplotlib’ library for charting data.
