Programme Goals

Why Enrol for the Programme?

The programming language market is expected to grow by USD 4.49 billion between 2020 and 2025 (Technavio, 2021). The rapid adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies by businesses to increase productivity and the increasing prevalence of AI and Machine Learning tools across industries augment the demand for programming languages worldwide.

Python is ranked as the most wanted programming language, used by software developers and professionals in major sectors, including finance, healthcare, consulting, and academia.

Python has proven extremely useful in automating and developing many projects. Its simplicity and readability make it appealing for beginners to start their coding adventure in Python.

At the same time, its capabilities allow experienced programmers to build complex solutions applied to extract and manipulate big data, develop and test applications, and write algorithms for artificial learning and machine learning.

This programme is curated with a strong emphasis on real-world relevance to meet rapidly evolving industry needs and trends. It is designed to provide you with market-ready coding skills and practical applications of Python to deploy solutions to solve real-life problems and meet evolving needs of organisations.

The Learning Experience

What is it like to learn with the learning collaborator, Emeritus?

More than 300,000 professionals globally, across 200 countries, have chosen to advance their skills with Emeritus and its educational learning partners. In fact, 90 percent of the respondents of a recent survey across all our programs said that their learning outcomes were met or exceeded. All the contents of the course would be made available to students at the commencement of the course. However, to ensure the program delivers the desired learning outcomes, the students may appoint Emeritus to manage the delivery of the program in a cohort-based manner during the course period the cost of which is already included in the overall Course fee of the course.

A dedicated program support team is available 7 days a week to answer questions about the learning platform, technical issues, or anything else that may affect your learning experience.
