This module is ideal for learners with no background in programming with coding & IT skills. Learners will gain their first programming experience, predominantly in the Python programming language.

Python is a widely used, relatively easy to learn programming language, which makes the module especially attractive for professionals or career changers, who aspire to become programmers.
