SoftPro9 runs Python Programming training as live online batches in UK time, for learners in the City, Canary Wharf, Shoreditch and across London.
Last updated: 28 October 2026
Python is used across London's finance, data and public-sector teams, from risk models to automation. The course is split into three levels. You can join at the level that matches your experience after a short assessment at counselling.
London practice: UK GDPR and consent practice in web and data exercises.
London practice: Accessibility to WCAG 2.2 AA, as UK public-sector sites require.
London practice: UK date formats, postcodes and the April–April tax year.
Freshers usually start in junior or support versions of these roles.
Every tool below is used hands-on in class or in a project, not just mentioned on a slide.
A command-line expense tracker with file storage, tests and a packaged install
A REST API in FastAPI with PostgreSQL, authentication and automated tests
A Django web app with admin, user accounts and deployment in Docker
London project: A tool that pulls TfL open data and reports line disruptions by week, using data and conventions from London.
New batches start every Monday and Thursday, with no more than 15 learners in each. Weekday class slots in UK time: 8 AM / 3:30 PM / 6 PM. Weekend slots: 10 AM / 5 PM. Times shown are for winter; they move one hour when clocks change.
The early-morning and evening UK-time slots fit around a standard working day.

Python is a general-purpose programming language known for readable syntax and a very large standard library. The same language runs web back ends (Django, Flask, FastAPI), data and machine-learning work (pandas, scikit-learn, PyTorch), automation scripts, test frameworks and cloud tooling, which is why it is usually the first language employers ask about outside front-end roles.
We teach Python 3.13 and modern practice: virtual environments, type hints, pytest, Ruff for linting and pyproject-based packaging. Where older code you will meet at work still uses Python 2 habits or outdated libraries, we point out the difference.
London is Europe's largest financial centre and one of its biggest technology hubs: banks and insurers in the City and Canary Wharf, fintech and startups around Shoreditch and King's Cross, and public-sector digital teams. Employers value clean, tested code, accessibility and a clear explanation of your work.
Banking, insurance and fintech
Technology and startups
Public sector digital
Retail, media and consulting
Generic courses use generic datasets, and interviewers notice. Our exercises include:
| Your background | Start with | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Complete beginner, any degree | Python foundations, then the full course | Readable syntax makes it the gentlest first language |
| Manual tester | Python + pytest + Playwright | Automation is the usual next step in testing careers |
| Excel / MIS / finance staff | Python with pandas and openpyxl | Automate the reports you already build by hand |
| CS / IT graduate | Full course with Django or FastAPI | Back-end roles ask for frameworks, databases and Git |
| Planning a data career | Python, then Data Analytics or Data Science | Every data course here assumes Python basics |
Common pairings: Python + Data Analytics (for reporting and analyst roles), Python + Data Science (for ML roles), and Python + Web Development (for full-stack roles with a Django or FastAPI back end). Learn one course well before adding a second.
Master the python foundations before moving on.
Build and publish your projects, including the London capstone.
Apply for entry roles such as python developer or back-end developer (django / fastapi) with employers like the banking, insurance and fintech above.
Honest note: freshers usually start in junior or trainee roles, and salaries in London vary too widely for a headline figure. Ask us which openings we are seeing.
There is no single official "Python certificate". The Python Institute (OpenEDG) runs the PCEP (entry) and PCAP (associate) exams, which are optional and paid directly to the Python Institute; our course covers their syllabus and includes practice questions. SoftPro9 issues a course completion certificate. For hiring, a GitHub profile with tested projects usually counts for more than any certificate.
A 2026 syllabus: look for Pydantic, pandas, openpyxl, Playwright, not only the basics.
Projects on your own accounts, a trainer you can meet first, and a published fee with nothing hidden.
No "global certification" or "100% placement" claims: vendors run their own exams, and nobody can promise a job.

The current training fee is listed on the Python Programming course page: /course/python-programming-course. It covers live classes, the practice environment, projects and interview preparation. Any Python Institute PCEP/PCAP exam is optional, not included, and paid directly to the exam provider.
No. The first weeks assume no programming experience. You need basic computer skills and around 8–10 hours a week, including practice.
Python 3.13 with current tools: venv/uv, pytest, Ruff and type hints. We also show the older patterns you may meet in legacy code.
Both, plus FastAPI. You build one complete project in Django and an API in FastAPI; Flask is covered so you can read existing apps.
Python alone is a strong start but rarely the whole job description. Back-end roles also expect SQL, Git and a framework; data roles expect pandas and SQL. The course covers all of these so your projects show more than syntax.
No. London learners join live online batches in UK time, with recordings and a 15-learner cap.
No. It is a private professional course and not eligible for UK student finance.
New Python batches start every Monday and Thursday. See the batch table on this page for the next dates and UK time class slots.
No. We provide interview preparation, resume help and referrals to openings we hear about in London, but no institute can honestly guarantee a job.
Tell us your degree, your current job (if any) and where in London you are. We will suggest a track and a batch that fits.
