How Technology Courses Can Help Small Businesses

Technology can be a very beneficial tool to use, especially for individuals who own a small business. It can make for more effective communication, efficient stock management and ordering systems as well as more effective marketing and promotion opportunities. Staying current with technology can prevent your employees’ skills from becoming stale. Encouraging employees to keep their tech skills fresh and up to date will not only benefit them but the business as well. In the long run it can also save your business money from using the most up-to-date devices and software.

Python is a versatile and accessible language, making it a valuable language to learn, and a great starting point for newcomers to programming. The uses for Python vary from web apps and development to data science, machine learning, and other projects.  

This course is designed as an introduction to Python for beginners and will allow programming newcomers to discover the core principles, concepts and various uses of Python. Students will become familiar with Python through discussion of programming theory, as well as through practical assignments, in which students will learn how to run and write basic Python scripts that include built-in functions and variables.

The Python Advanced course is designed to help students with prior knowledge and experience in Python take their skills to the next level. Students will learn more complex Python concepts and push the limits of their abilities through practical exercises and assignments using Python 3. By building on fundamental Python principles, students will learn to confidently experiment with the scripts they write and to produce exciting, functional results. The Python certification also teaches students how to use applications that interact with Python, such as the Jupyter Notebook system.  


Learning new technology is always a benefit, especially for small business owners. It is never too late to learn something new or freshen up on the current skills you already have.
