Entry requirements
Delegates should be able to navigate the filesystem, edit a file, and browse the web. No programming experience is necessary.
Exam
There is no exam requirement for this course.
Learning Objectives
This course aims to provide the delegate with the knowledge to be able to produce simple computer programs that demonstrate an understanding of the three core principles of programming – sequence, selection, and iteration. Delegates will also be exposed to functions, objects, and both procedural and object-oriented programming paradigms. The course further aims to prepare delegates to go on to learn any one of many programming languages in detail.
Syllabus – key points
Explore the structure and logic behind coding using Python. You’ll learn the fundamentals – from writing simple programs to using functions, loops, and objects – gaining a clear understanding of how these elements work together in different programming scenarios and the confidence to apply your knowledge to real-world projects and future courses.
Introduction to programming
This session introduces the fundamentals of programming, from input/output and storage to the purpose of code and how it’s executed. You’ll learn Python scripting, writing and running code – including your first ‘Hello World’ program – and begin developing a clear understanding of how structured logic underpins modern software.
Loops and iteration
Automate repetitive tasks using ‘while’ and ‘for’ loops, along with the ‘break’ and ‘continue’ commands. You’ll explore how to iterate through lists and other data collections efficiently, gaining a clearer understanding of how structured repetition supports streamlined, scalable problem-solving in coding. Real-world examples help reinforce how loops can simplify logic and reduce redundancy in scripts.
Functions and modules
Learn how to define and use functions, pass arguments, return values and manage variable scope effectively. Explore how to organise code using modules and libraries, gaining experience with Python’s built-in resources and reusable components. This session introduces procedural programming techniques that support clean, maintainable and scalable script development – essential for building real-world applications.
Programming best practices
Explore essential coding standards such as naming conventions, formatting, and writing clear, testable code. Learn how to apply unit testing and understand the foundations of test-driven development (TDD). You’ll also practise using pseudocode and planning techniques to structure your code for better readability, efficiency and long-term maintenance.
