Micro-courses

Since early 2019, I’ve been offering “micro-courses,” 90-minute courses on specific topics in Python and data science. Many (but not all) of these are based on my longer corporate training classes. These courses are perfect for companies with busy schedules who want to level up their employees’ knowledge without interfering too much with work.

Micro-courses are 100% online, and while they’re shorter than usual classes, they are done in my typical style: Live-coding into Jupyter, several exercises, and time for Q&A.

I’ve given these micro-courses to companies in North America, Europe, and Israel. The short time means that they’re generally easier to schedule than my full-day classes, given that my training calendar is typically booked 6-8 months in advance.

If you have an idea for a micro-course that doesn’t appear in this list, then please reach out to me and let me know! I’d be happy to discuss it with you. I’m also constantly adding new micro-courses, so be sure to check here on a regular basis to see what new topics I’m offering.
