Python Data Wrangling Training Course FAQs

This course is for data analysts and data scientists looking to utilise Python to extract from various sources and prepare it for machine learning modelling.

To succeed in this course, you should have a working knowledge of Python basics, including data structures, importing and using modules, creating functions, and using the Jupyter Notebook platform.

No, we will read and write Excel spreadsheets but not use the Excel product.

Data wrangling is ingesting, cleaning, and unifying raw data sources into a format for more accessible analysis.

No. This is not a programming class but rather an instruction on data management and processing. The Jupyter Notebook/Lab applications are used for their interactive features to speed development.

Yes, these skills are fundamental to creating a data analytics pipeline. However, additional training may be required to perform visualisation, modelling, and prediction.

The software is based on the Anaconda distribution, a combination of Python, Jupyter, and many data analytics libraries. All software tools are platform-independent and would work using Windows, Linux, or OS/X. The class runs in a Linux environment, but the skills and tools used would apply to any platform.

No, though we strive to keep our software up to date, we often use older versions of packages for interoperability. All the software packages used are available for any of the major operating systems.
