Python Courses - Beginner
Learn the basics of Python programming
Python Beginner Course
Python is a versatile programming language used across data analysis, automation, artificial intelligence, web development and more. Nexacu’s Python Beginner course focuses on using Python for data analysis, giving you the practical foundations needed to start working with data in a structured coding environment.
This hands-on Python training course introduces Anaconda, JupyterLab, Jupyter Notebooks and the basics of Python syntax. You will learn how to work with Python objects, functions and methods, access and manipulate pandas DataFrames, and create basic visualisations for data analysis tasks.
No prior experience with Python is required. This course is designed for complete beginners who have never used Python before.
Python Beginner is designed for learners who want to start using Python for data analysis, not just learn programming theory. It suits business users, analysts, reporting professionals, researchers, students and teams who want a practical introduction to coding with data.
The course introduces the key tools used in Python data analysis workflows, including Anaconda, JupyterLab, Jupyter Notebooks and pandas. You will build confidence working with code, objects, data structures, DataFrames and simple visual outputs.
After completing Python Beginner, learners who want to continue developing their data analysis skills can progress to Python Intermediate where suitable.

Is Python Beginner suitable for complete beginners?
Yes. Python Beginner is designed for learners with no prior Python or programming experience. The course starts with setup, JupyterLab, Jupyter Notebooks and the basics of Python syntax before moving into simple data analysis tasks.
What will I learn in Python Beginner?
You will learn how to set up Anaconda, work in JupyterLab, write basic Python code, use Python objects, functions and methods, work with data structures, access pandas DataFrames and create basic visualisations.
Do I need to install Python before the course?
You do not need to install Python separately. The course uses Anaconda Navigator, which includes Python and JupyterLab. If you are attending remotely, please make sure Anaconda Navigator is installed before your session.
What tools are used in this Python course?
The course uses Anaconda, JupyterLab and Jupyter Notebooks. These tools help you write, run and document Python code in a structured environment suitable for data analysis learning.
Does this course cover pandas DataFrames?
Yes. Python Beginner introduces pandas data structures, including Series and DataFrames. You will learn how to create DataFrames, import data, access data, make changes and work with rows and columns.
Will I learn Python functions and methods?
Yes. The course introduces the basic syntax for functions and methods, including how they are used, how arguments work and how methods relate to Python objects.
Will I create visualisations in Python Beginner?
Yes. The supplementary content includes plotting data. The course introduces basic visualisation concepts so you can begin using Python to explore and present data.
What is the difference between Python Beginner and Python Intermediate?
Python Beginner introduces Python syntax, Anaconda, JupyterLab, objects, data structures and basic pandas DataFrame work. Python Intermediate builds on these skills with more data manipulation, missing values, visualisations with Matplotlib and Seaborn, and basic modelling with scikit-learn.
Is this course useful for workplace data analysis?
Yes. Python Beginner provides a practical foundation for working with data in Python. It helps learners start importing, accessing, manipulating, summarising and plotting data using beginner-friendly workflows.
What is remote training?
Remote training at Nexacu means your course is delivered live online by a trainer. Students can ask questions, participate in discussion and share their screen with the trainer when they need help.
