Certiport IT Specialist — Python Fundamentals

On this accelerated 4-day Certiport IT Specialist Python Fundamentals course, you’ll learn to construct and analyse code segments that use branching statements and that perform iteration. You'll also learn to construct and analyse code segments that perform file input and output operations, as well as console input and output operations.

At the end of this course, you'll sit the Certiport IT Specialist Python Fundamentals exam and achieve your certification. Through Firebrand’s Lecture | Lab | Review methodology, you’ll get access to courseware, and achieve your certification at twice the speed of traditional training.

Audience

This course is ideal if you’re interested in validating your entry-level IT skills and starting a career in information technology.

Candidates for this exam should be able to recognise and write syntactically correct well-documented Python 3 code that will logically solve a given problem, correctly use data types supported by Python, and use common libraries to write a program that solves a complex problem.

Candidates are expected to have had at least 150 hours of instruction and/or hands-on experience with the Python programming language, be familiar with its features and capabilities, and understand how to write, debug, and maintain well-formed, well-documented Python code.
