Really enjoyed the course and feel I have learned a lot. Appreciated the course materials in advance which I felt allowed me to prepare. There were lots of opportunities to code and the presenter was very clear and patient with the cohort, clarifying areas where required.

I found this course very useful. I feel much more enabled to more ahead with some of the coding projects I had in mind after attending this course. Special mention for the instructor who in my opinion made this course more than the sum of its individual parts.

Stuart is a great lecturer, he is very engaging, goes at the right pace and easily adjusts to the needs of the group. I like the format of the course in that Stuart didn't use slides and coded everything directly, it was easier to follow and remain engaged the entire duration of the course. Exercises were fun and helpful and overall I really enjoyed every aspect of the course.

The course is spot on for those who've maybe utilised python many moons ago and need a refresher, or for someone who's given Python a go and is now ready to "Look under the bonnet" a bit more. I've found it to be a fantastic refresher on training I received over 10 years ago.

The course was great, at the right level for me and I learnt a lot. Stuart was a great teacher; he explained everything clearly and was always happy to answer questions and show further examples.

Musie is one of the best tutors I have ever come across - so enthusiastic and knowledgeable - amazing .... Musie - thanks so much - I appreciate I did not have the pre-req for this course but you made it inclusive and very interesting. I really appreciated the time spent and the knowledge you shared. I learned a lot and have taken a lot of courses what an amazing brain you must have!

Great course, and very well delivered. Professional and experience trainer. Much preferred Stuart's code-along delivery style, rather than the traditional powerpoint and talking from the presenter, then an expectation for separate independent work. Stuart delivered well with a very mixed group of abilities. He enabled building of confidence in those new to the language, and provided valuable critique of those with prior experience who were trying to push themselves further, beyond what was necessarily prescribed by the course.

I found that that the course was pitched just at the right level. I was a bit concerned that, having been in software development for some time (although relatively new to Python) that some parts of the course might be of less relevance. Not a bit if it, I have learned stuff in the last 4 days that I would never have picked up from a text book or on-line video. The stuff around Object Oriented programming and how the different data types are used and how you can implement them in Python have been especially useful. I have learned a tremendous amount about python not just about the language itself but, perhaps more importantly, how it could be practically applied in the professional software environment. Stuart was a fantastic presenter and passed over the information in a very informative, understandable, pragmatic way without ever losing your interest. Stuart was always available outside of the course for advice and guidance and was particularly helpful to me when I had queries on certain topics. I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone interested in taking up python. Even for people who have a solid background in python, I am sure that there will be a lot they will pick up from this course.
