Course Introduction

Our Python courses were designed by Tamara Shatar, who holds a PhD in Agricultural Data Science. She focused her extensive experience and skills in modelling using machine learning, simulation and other techniques to create a course with depth and applicability. 

The course is consistently well reviewed by students. 

"The course was really good, Tamara is an excellent trainer and was able to answer my questions, the resources she provided to help after the course are excellent. I was a bit overwhelmed at the beginning trying to learn a new language, but Tamara put me at ease and went through the content at a pace that I could understand." -Using R Beginner Brisbane

These packages contain functions to perform a wide range of tasks.

Why learn Python?
Python has a very broad range of applications, including programming robots, web development, data analysis and automation. The machine learning packages are very popular and Python's speed and efficiency make it possible to work with very large amounts of data. Because of its simplicity, diversity of applications and the active community behind it, Python has been one of the most popular programming languages for several years.
