Programming Fundamentals
Python First Steps
Two weeks to your first working programs
A two-week classroom course for complete beginners. It covers the first two sections of the Python Institute's PCEP-30-03 outline — programming and Python fundamentals, and control flow with conditions and loops — in the order the official Python tutorial introduces them. It is a start, not the whole exam syllabus, and prepares for no exam on its own.
