What do other participants say about the course?
“It’s been really interesting to see what (our employee) is learning around coding; learning Python and when you then couple that with a richer understanding of data and how you can utilise data that’s a really fascinating piece. Looking at how we can apply that in the workspace has so many potentials… That’s probably the biggest beneficial thing that will come out of this course.â€
Employer of Course Participant
“I’m a single parent, with two children living at home with me. I also have a full-time job, so I don’t have a lot of big chunks of time spare. I was able to make this bite-sized learning work for me; accessing it through the app on my phone, accessing it through my laptop when I had the chance… (This programme) tends to fit in more easily around life that way.â€
Course Participant
“I’m interested in scaling up (my business)… Implementing these technologies is going to allow me to go from just being myself as a sole trader to being an employer and hopefully taking on more people here in the South West.”
Course Participant
“I currently work in a Python team. Being largely self-taught it’s made a massive difference day-to-day. In fact, I’d come in in the morning and immediately apply the things that I had learned the night before in a video. My team would say to me “Do you know how to do this?†and I can say “Yes, I learned it last night!â€. It’s been really helpful that way. It happened today in fact!â€
