Python Training Course - Advanced
Learn Python for data analysis, instructor-led course.
Following on from our Python Intermediate course, Python Advanced will build on your knowledge of Python and pandas. The focus of this course is learning to work more efficiently in Python.
You will learn to use control flow structures and loops and write your own custom functions and classes to automate analyses and improve efficiency. Other learning outcomes include the use of method chaining and pipes to perform multiple operations on DataFrames, the creation of interactive visualisations with Bokeh and the writing of code to automate these processes.

Frequently Asked Questions
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 trainer was engaging, explains concepts well and is accommodating to questions. I found the Python Intermediate pulls together the content from the previous two course in a practical way. There is plenty of material to refer to assist in real data analysis projects." - Python Advanced, Sydney
Is Python compatible with Microsoft?
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.
What is Remote Training?
Remote training at Nexacu means our experienced trainers will deliver your training virtually. With remote learning, students can access our usual classroom training courses via video conferencing, ask questions, participate in the discussion, and share their screen with the trainer if they need help at any point in the course. Students have the same level of participation and access to the trainer as they would in classroom training sessions.

The minimum requirements are being comfortable with:
- Python
- Python built-in data structures
- lists, dictionaries, tuples and sets
- pandas DataFrames
- DataFrame methods
- Basic familiarity with Matplotlib
