This Python course focuses on using Python for network automation and network DevOps.

The main goal of the course is to get participants working with Python and network automation as quickly as possible. Rather than concentrating on turning delegates into advanced software developers, the course focuses on practical use of network automation libraries such as netmiko and NAPALM, together with APIs and protocols such as NETCONF.

For this reason, the program places greater emphasis on automating configuration, collecting information from network devices, working with network APIs, and managing network operations than on advanced Object-Oriented Programming.

Hands-on sessions use Cisco and Juniper devices, giving participants practical experience in applying Python to real network administration tasks. The course helps network professionals save time by automating repetitive activities and improving operational efficiency.

Using Python for Data Science, Machine Learning and Automation

Once people learn the basics of Python, they often reach the same point: “I understand the fundamentals. What can I actually do with Python now?” Three of the strongest answers are Data Science, Machine Learning, and automation.

What Is Python? What Is It Used For and Why Is It So Popular?

When you first become interested in programming, there are a few languages you are almost guaranteed to come across. Python is usually near the top of that list. And Python isn't only for professional software developers. Data analysts, network engineers, data scientists, system administrators, and many other professionals use Python in their day-to-day work.

France stands as a cornerstone of European industrial innovation, with Paris and Lyon serving as premier global hubs for aerospace, automotive technology, and high-end digital startups. The French tech ecosystem, famously supported by the 'La French Tech' initiative, thrives on the research excellence of institutions like Sorbonne University and École Polytechnique. As a leader in sustainable energy software and sophisticated telecommunications, France offers a highly competitive landscape for advanced professional development. Our IT training programs in France are designed to meet these elite standards, focusing on Cloud Computing, Cybersecurity, and Data Science certifications. We empower professionals across the Republic to lead digital transformation projects within a diverse economy that is consistently pushing the boundaries of engineering and artificial intelligence.
