• Basic High school education is desirable. A good background in Maths and Science is good only , but not necessary. Python is designed for everybody who has a has a basic sense of logic.
• Prior knowledge in any programming language like C, C++, Java etc will be an added advantage. You will see how simple is Python in comparison with all these language.
• Our target students are anybody who has a desire to study new technologies. Programmers from other languages like C++, Java etc prefer Python .
• Because Python is probably the best known language for learning machine learning and subsequently to enter the vast ocean of AI(Artificial Intelligence).
• For students doing a course in Science as well as Economics / Statistics and definitely in Engineering of any discipline the course will be greatly beneficial.
