What’s the difference between the Python course and the Python career track?
Career tracks contain multiple courses that go from beginner to professional.
The Python 101 course is the first course in each of our two Python career tracks:
To learn Python basics and Python for beginners, start with Python 101.
How much does CodingNomads Python bootcamp cost?
We have three enrollment options with varying levels of access and support.
How does the online bootcamp mentorship program work?
Bootcamp mentorship programs help you learn faster and keep a strong pace, and also give you professional insight and a community to learn with.
In the bootcamp mentorship program, you’ll be paired 1:1 with a technical mentor for weekly meetings and 24/7 access to reach out to the entire community for guidance and support when you need it. After you complete the curriculum with technical mentorship, you can enroll in career mentorship to help you land your next job.

Are there live lectures on a set schedule?
No. All lectures are pre-recorded, so you can complete the curriculum on the schedule that works for you.
The only live requirements are in our coding bootcamp mentorship programs, where you meet each week with your mentor.
Does this program offer a Python certification?
Yes. Certificates are available if you are enrolled in Premium Membership or Mentorship. Here’s how to receive your Python certification:
We do not have one singular, comprehensive Python certification exam. Instead, each of our courses includes quizzes, lab assignments, journal entries, and projects that all must be completed in order to receive a Python certification
How long does it take to learn Python?
As you can probably guess, how long it takes to learn Python depends on your previous experience and your learning speed.
On average, for students studying part-time, beginner students need 2-4 months to learn Python basics, and another 3-6 months to learn advanced Python skills in data science or web development. In total, on average, students need 5-10 months studying part-time to go from beginner to professional in Python web development. How long to learn Python breakdown:
2-4 months: Learn Python basics, SQL, APIs, Git & GitHub.
3-6 months: Learn Python advanced courses. To qualify for most professional jobs, you’ll need to pair your Python programming skills with an advanced specialization in Python Data Science + Machine Learning, Deep Learning with Python, and Python Full Stack Web Development.
1-6 months: Job search. In addition to learning Python, you’ll want to consider the time it will take you to get a job. This can sometimes be the toughest part. Don’t worry, though, because we can help you out with career mentorship.
What if I plan to study full-time?
If you plan to study full-time, great! You can expect to learn faster than the average times mentioned above.
That said, learning to code is not just about reading curriculum and watching videos. To become a professional, you must do the work. Writing code and building projects from scratch takes time, no matter how many hours per week you study.
To go from beginner to professional studying full-time, you should still expect a minimum of 4-6 months to gain the proficiency to build a job-worthy portfolio project, pass technical interviews, and succeed on the job.
Are the courses project-based?
Yes. We teach the real-world tasks of software engineers, so you get plenty of practice building projects using professional developer tools and IDEs. In order to receive a certificate of completion, you must complete the project assignments within each course.
Our curriculum generally follows a “read something, watch something, do something” format:
Our curriculum may not include a video or assignment for every concept, but at the end of each course you’ll have the opportunity to implement all learned concepts into your capstone project.
Is Python hard to learn?
Python has become the darling of the data community, because it’s easier to work with than other programming languages like R, C, and even Java. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy.
Whether or not Python is hard to learn depends on you. If you enjoy problem solving, logic, data, numbers, and trying new things until you figure something out, learning Python may come easier to you.
If spending hours scouring code to find the tiny little bug that’s breaking the whole thing sounds like a nightmare to you, Python may be harder to learn for you.
Becoming proficient enough to get a job using Python will take months of dedicated study. At some point, you’ll certainly find yourself confused, stuck or frustrated. But if you can embrace the challenge and stay self-motivated to figure it out, learning Python is worth the effort!
What is Python?
Python is an open-source, general purpose programming language widely used in data science, machine learning, web development, application development, automation, Fintech, and more.
Python is a server side language, also known as a back end language. This means Python runs on the server, and is responsible for processing the logic behind user inputs, interacting with databases and other servers, etc.
In recent years, Python’s popularity has surged because of its extensive resources and libraries built for data science, machine learning, data visualization, and artificial intelligence (AI).
