The course was just what I needed to rocket launch my learning of Python up the learning curve.

The course was brilliant value for money. You and your colleagues know a lot about Python, and are very patient in explaining it to newcomers like me.

Thank you for an incredibly insightful but so, so practical (think often the missing ingredient) presentation of this topic, that we are all grabbling with. Your experience and expertise shone through and certainly a testament to the stellar work that you guys are doing in the industry.

I’m in the process of reviving my actuarial career. The data science course has given me lots of new ideas and things to try. You have inspired me. Thank you so much for putting it together. I think it’s amazing!

I liked the fact that the course was a mixture of coding itself, and wider issues such as governance / ethics / good practice.
