Thousands of GA alumni use their course certificate to demonstrate skills to potential employers — including our hiring partners — along with their LinkedIn networks. Our Python Programming Short Course is well-regarded by many top employers, who contribute to our curriculum and partner with us to train their own teams.

            Our Python Programming Short Course is our best entry-level course for professionals looking to gain a foundation in programming to kickstart a move into tech or data. You’ll find a diverse range of students in the Python course classroom, including:

            • New programmers who want to get up and running quickly with an object-oriented language.
            • Graduates of our Data Analytics Short Course who enjoyed the programming aspects of Excel and SQL.
            • Anyone considering further study in our Data Science Short Course or Data Science Bootcamp programs, which require a strong foundation in Python programming.

            Regardless of their backgrounds, this Python programming course attracts a community of eager learners who want to know how to code a prototype, make sense of documentation, and continue honing their Python skills independently.

            This is a beginner-friendly Python program with no prerequisites, although some students may have coded previously. First-time programmers will have access to pre-course preparatory lessons and additional resources to boost their confidence with key concepts and set up their developer environments.

            We’re proud to offer numerous other directly connected courses, from other short courses like JavaScript development and React development, to full-time career change focused tech bootcamps in software engineering, data science, and UX design.
            For your capstone project, you’ll apply what you’ve learned throughout this Python course to build a polished, portfolio-ready web or data application. Showcase your skills by creating a custom app that pulls in third-party data with Pandas or integrates functionality from APIs with Flask, depending on the focus of your cohort.

            We encourage you to tackle a problem that’s related to your work or a passion project you’ve been meaning to carve out time for.

            Throughout the course, you’ll also complete a number of smaller Python projects designed to reinforce what you’ve learned in each unit.
            Yes. All of our short courses are designed for busy professionals with full-time work commitments.

If you’re able to dedicate a full week to learning, we also have a full-time, accelerated one-week option. 

            You’ll be expected to spend time working on homework and projects outside of class each week, but the workload is designed to be manageable with a full-time job.

            If you need to miss a session or two, we offer resources to help you catch up. We recommend you discuss any planned absences with your instructor.
