This one-day course covers fundamental techniques in Python programming such as functions, for loops and conditional expressions.

The benefit of using a programming language such as Python is that we can automate repetitive tasks. This course covers the fundamental techniques such as functions, for loops and conditional expressions. By the end of this course, you will understand what these techniques are and how they can be applied to solve real-world data wrangling tasks.This is an online course and will take place, from 13:30 - 17:00 (UK time), on the 19-20 Oct 2026. The closing date for enrollment is 12 Oct 2026.
