Description of the Python Training Course

This “Python – Introduction to Programming” training course introduces you to the basics of Python and programming, from setting up the environment to writing your first programs. You will learn the fundamentals of syntax, data structures, functions, error handling and object-oriented programming. Through numerous practical exercises and guided workshops, you will develop useful and reusable Python scripts. Upon completion of the training, you will be autonomous in writing, testing and evolving simple Python programs adapted to your professional or personal projects.

Also discover our JMeter Performance Testing Training – Simulate, Measure and Optimise your Web Applications at Scale, our Load Testing Training – Simulate Real User Behaviour to Evaluate the Limits of your Applications and our REST API – Create, Expose and Integrate Secure and Scalable Web Services.

Format

Remote (recorded sessions).
It is possible to customise the training content to meet the needs of your professional project.

GOOD TO KNOW

This training course includes many exercises (60% practice) for better learning. Sessions are guaranteed from 1 registered participant (except in cases of force majeure). A preliminary interview takes place between the participant and/or a company representative to properly account for the participant’s profile (level, needs, professional context, challenges…).
Assessment: during the training, the trainer evaluates the pedagogical progress of participants through MCQs, role-play scenarios and practical exercises. Participants receive a certificate of skills validation at the end of the training.

This training course is part of our Development Training Courses. Explore our other development trainings to design modern, performant and maintainable applications.

Objectives of the Python Training Course

Upon completion of the Python training, the participant will be able to:

  • Understand the fundamentals of programming with Python, a versatile, easy-to-learn language used in many fields.
  • Install and configure a suitable Python environment (interpreter, IDE/editor, package manager).
  • Master basic syntax, data types, operators and control structures (conditionals, loops).
  • Learn to structure programs, write custom and reusable functions.
  • Discover object-oriented programming (OOP) in Python and learn to design simple classes.
  • Be able to develop and run useful Python scripts, with error handling and development best practices.

Prerequisites

  • No specific technical prerequisites. Basic computer skills (files, navigation) are sufficient.
  • A computer with Windows, macOS or Linux and administrator access to install Python.
  • Because each participant is unique, a personalised interview with our expert allows us to design a training course perfectly aligned with their objectives, level and professional challenges.

Target Audience

  • Absolute beginners in programming wishing to learn Python.
  • IT or business staff who need to automate tasks or handle data.
  • Professionals wishing to acquire a first skill in software development.

Detailed Programme of the Python Training Course

Introduction to Python and Setup
  • Overview of the Python language (interpreted, multi-paradigm: imperative, object-oriented).
  • Installing Python and an IDE (Thonny, VS Code, PyCharm) or using notebooks.
  • Using the Python interpreter and running your first script.
  • Variables, naming conventions and assignment.
  • Primitive types: int, float, str, bool.
  • Arithmetic, comparison and logical operators.
  • Conditional statements (if, elif, else).
  • Loops (for, while) and iteration management.
  • Lists, tuples, dictionaries and sets: creation, access, modification.
  • Writing functions with parameters and return values.
  • Concepts of variable scope and function documentation.
  • Detecting and handling exceptions to make programs robust.
  • Defining simple classes, attributes, methods and constructors.
  • Concepts of inheritance and encapsulation.
  • Reading and writing text files, data manipulation.
  • Interactive scripts (calculations, text processing, files).
  • Final mini-project: a complete program using concepts learned.

FAQ – Python Programming Training

Python is widely considered one of the most beginner-friendly programming languages, thanks to its readable syntax, dynamic typing, comprehensive standard library, and large community. A motivated learner is writing useful scripts within days and meaningful applications within weeks. The MFE-IT Python training takes complete beginners through the language fundamentals to applied programming with structured progression.

Python is used for web development (Django, Flask, FastAPI), data analysis and science (pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn), AI and machine learning (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face), automation and scripting (DevOps, IT operations), data engineering, and education. Its versatility makes it the most-used language in 2026 across many fields. Through MFE-IT’s hands-on approach, learners explore several Python application domains.

Python and JavaScript serve different niches: Python excels at data, AI, automation, and backend; JavaScript is essential for the web (frontend, and increasingly backend with Node.js). Modern engineers often know both. For data, AI, or scripting careers, start with Python; for web or full-stack careers, JavaScript is unavoidable. The MFE-IT Python Programming Introduction training is the ideal entry point for the Python track.

Learn Python 3, specifically the latest stable version available (Python 3.13 in 2026). Python 2 reached end-of-life in 2020 and should not be used for new code. Python 3 has significantly evolved syntactically (f-strings, type hints, structural pattern matching) and in performance. Our MFE-IT training course on Python uses Python 3 throughout with current best practices.
