Learning Python for Data Analysis and More (16 hrs)

Course Code: TGS-2023021750 | SSG Funded

*Classroom-based Learning*

This course aims to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to develop python programs. Python is one of the most versatile software programming languages and is widely used in AI and machine learning. Its versatility also extends to business intelligence tools. This course will help participants learn the syntax and program logic techniques of python and apply it to creating data analysis routines as well as to use python libraries for data visualization in Power BI Desktop and Tableau.

Participants who fulfil all requirements will receive a Statement of Attainment (SOA) issued by SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG).
