Dive into programming, learn Python from scratch, and prepare for
the PCEP – Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer certification
Python Essentials 1 is aligned with the PCEP – Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer certification, a
professional credential that demonstrates the holder’s understanding of the Python language syntax and
semantics, as well as their proficiency in using the most essential elements of the language, tools, and resources
to design, develop, and refactor simple Python programs.

The certification holder knows the syntax of the Python language to a degree that allows them to work with
variables, operators, control flow mechanisms, and functions, as well as understands the fundamentals of the
Python data type system, exception handling, troubleshooting, debugging, and the runtime environment.
PCEP – Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer certification is an interim step to the PCAP – Certified
Associate in Python Programming certification, and the starting point to launch a career in software
development, Python programming, and related technologies.

Becoming PCEP certified will help you stand out from other candidates and get your foot in the door.
