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 

"Great trainer, structure, material and manual. I have completed programming courses before but this one just made more sense! I'm sure it was the trainer. Looking forward to the Intermediate course when it is available." -Using R Beginner Sydney

What is Python? 
Python is a general-purpose programming language that is easy to use and learn. It is open source and free to use, including for commercial use. The Python user community is very active and have collectively developed over 237,000 packages which extend the functionality of the Python Standard Library. These packages contain functions to perform a wide range of tasks.

Can I run Python in Power BI?
Python can be used within a number of Microsoft products. In Power BI, reusable Python scripts can be used to manipulate data and create visualisations. In Azure, machine learning models can be written in Python and trained and deployed within the Azure Machine Learning Workspace.
