Training

We offer hands-on training sessions online on topics spanning Python packaging, software development and maintenance and contributing to open source software. We use spatial chat for highly interactive online sessions and run cohort based asynchronous courses that span multiple days to multiple weeks that support structured learning at your own pace and on your own time supported by expert instructors to answer questions.
