Practical info

The course is taught entirely in English. Therefore, the following applies:  your English must be at level B2 (CEFR) or higher. It is your own responsibility to ensure that your English level is sufficient for the course. 

If the entire group consists of Dutch‑speaking participants, the sessions may be conducted in Dutch after consultation with the group. The course materials will still be provided in English.

Laptop
You will need to bring your own laptop to the course. It must be a laptop on which you can install your own programs (minimum requirements: 4GB RAM/memory (recommended: 8GB), minimum free hard disk space: 5GB). You will need to install PyCharm Community Edition for the course.

Course material
The course materials consist of English‑language presentations. Each course day also includes assignments to practice the materials covered. 

The course concludes with an assessment during the final session, in which you demonstrate the programming skills you have acquired to receive a HAN certificate. If the assessment result is insufficient but you meet the attendance requirement (max. 1 missed session), you will receive a Certificate of Participation.
