Who this course is for (student-friendly)

• Beginners who want a solid, fast introduction to Python.

• People with some coding background wanting practical, career-focused practice.

• Data analysts, aspiring data scientists, automation specialists, software developers, recent grads, career changers, entrepreneurs.

 

Programme structure & topics (what you’ll learn)

BSBI lists practical learning goals and structure — the programme blends short live teaching with hands-on self-study and a final test:

• Synchronous: Two on-campus sessions (each ~4 hours).

• Asynchronous: ~42 hours of online learning on Canvas, quizzes and exercises.

• Final assessment: End-of-programme test / evaluation.

• Skills & topics covered (learning outcomes): Python fundamentals; file handling; data management; Object-Oriented Programming (OOP); advanced Python features; data analysis & visualization; automation; problem-solving & small project implementation; project management basics.

 

Highlights & why international students pick this course

• Fast, career-focused: 4-week professional certificate focused on hands-on Python skills employers want.

• Hybrid format: Short on-campus sessions give campus experience (networking, labs), plus flexible online study for international learners.

• Digital credential / certificate verification: BSBI issues verifiable digital credentials for this course — useful to share on LinkedIn/with employers. Several alumni posts / credential pages confirm issued certificates.

 

Career outcomes (what this cert helps you do)

• Immediate outcomes: Build a portfolio of small Python projects, be able to automate tasks, analyse/tabulate data, create basic visualisations and prepare for further data-science / software developer learning.

• Next steps after the certificate: Move into longer technical programmes (e.g., BSBI’s BSc Computer Science & Digitisation or MSc/Data Analytics), entry-level developer/data analyst roles, internships or use skills to enhance your current professional role. BSBI’s broader data programmes explicitly embed Python in their curriculum (so this certificate is a good stepping stone).

 

Latest updates / special requirements (what I found)

• Current intakes & delivery (2025): multiple intakes — May/July/September/November — hybrid delivery with on-campus sessions in Berlin. Factsheet and digital credential pages are active (2025).

• Credits / ECTS not shown: BSBI does not list ECTS/credit points for this certificate on the public course page — it is marketed as a stand-alone professional certificate. If you need ECTS for credit transfer, request the factsheet or ask Admissions for equivalence.
