What You’ll Learn

A single 16-week pathway that builds Python fluency first, then combines hands-on coding with interview preparation from week 5 onward.

Write, run, and debug Python programs using the interpreter, IDE, terminal, and basic tooling.
Use variables, control flow, loops, lists, dictionaries, functions, and string handling to build small applications.
Work with files, handle errors with try/except, and persist simple data safely.
Prepare behavioral stories, communicate impact, and practice STAR-style answers for interviews.
Solve interview-style Python problems involving collections, algorithms, recursion, and core structures, with full mock interviews.

Python for beginners + interview prep (16 weeks)

Capstone & mock interviews

You will complete a console-based mini project that applies the beginner curriculum, then participate in two full mock interviews combining behavioral and technical rounds, with feedback and a personal improvement plan.

Career readiness

This program builds practical Python fluency and interview communication skills aligned with junior and internship-style Python interviews. Certification is not awarded; focus is on portfolio artifacts, problem-solving practice, and mock performance.
