Python Intermediate - Training Course
Use Python for efficient Data Analysis
Following on from our Python Beginner course, Python Intermediate will build on your foundational knowledge of Python and pandas. You will learn how to manipulate data, create custom functions, plot with Matplotlib and display visualisations.
Understanding how to use Python for Data Analysis empowers you to be much more efficient and opens up the possibility of using a wide array of freely available tools. Read our full course outline below.

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.
"Great trainer, structure, material and manual. I have completed programming courses before but this one just made more sense!" - Using R Beginner 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.
