What people are saying

"I walked into the bootcamp with some basic Python syntax and walked out with a much stronger, contextualized grasp of Python, an understanding of common mistakes, the ability to solve basic coding problems, and confidence in my ability to learn more."

Randi S., Edlitera Student
Randi S., a graduate of Edlitera's Python training bootcamp

"I wanted to learn Python and be able to process data without being tied and limited by Excel and macros. These classes gave me all the tools to do so and beyond. The materials provided, the engagement of the class by the tutors and their availability to help us were excellent."
