To get into the program, you need to undergo a preliminary competitive selection process.

This program is a hands-on Python course designed for learners who want to acquire practical programming skills from the ground up.

No preliminary competitive selection or prior programming experience is required to enroll - participants will study and progress through the material during the course.

The training is built around a "step-by-step" learning approach: from basic programming concepts to practical application of Python in real-world tasks. The course combines theory with practice, allowing students to immediately reinforce new knowledge through exercises and examples.

During the program, you will:

  1. learn core Python syntax and programming principles;
  2. develop algorithmic and problem-solving thinking;
  3. practice writing, reading, and improving Python code;
  4. gain confidence in using Python for applied tasks.

The course is suitable for beginners as well as for those who have limited experience and want to systematize their knowledge. All necessary explanations, guidance, and learning materials are provided as part of the training.

Python
Python is an object-oriented programming language that is considered as one of the most simple and adaptable. It is used for many fields: from scripting to Data Science.
