What you'll learn
Step into the world of coding and discover how Python and ChatGPT can work together to accelerate your learning with our AI short courses in Sydney!
In this tutor-led, interactive course, you’ll build solid Python programming fundamentals while learning how to use AI as a powerful coding partner. Instead of struggling alone with syntax errors or debugging issues, you’ll learn how to describe what you want in plain language, use AI to generate code, and then refine, test, and improve it until it works.
Along the way, you’ll develop real problem-solving skills and the confidence to build your own programs from scratch. This course focuses on understanding how code works, not just copying solutions — so you leave with skills you can apply independently.
Designed for beginners, this course makes learning Python more accessible, efficient, and engaging by combining human instruction with AI-assisted coding techniques.
