The Pearson VUE Certified IT Specialist Python Prep course is designed to build essential Python programming skills and prepare learners for the IT Specialist Python certification exam. Participants will explore how Python handles data types, operator precedence, and data operations to write accurate and efficient expressions. Gain hands-on experience in controlling program flow using branching and looping structures and performing input/output operations through both the console and files.

The course also covers the fundamentals of documenting code, writing functions, and building modular Python applications. Learners will develop the ability to troubleshoot and handle runtime errors using exceptions, as well as write unit tests to ensure code quality. Additionally, participants will solve real-world problems using built-in Python modules and tools. Ideal for beginners, students, and aspiring software developers who want to validate their Python programming skills through certification.

Certificate

All participants will receive a Certificate of Completion from Tertiary Courses after achieved at least 75% attendance.
