This filter is the wrong call for a reader who already knows Python basics or who wants Python for a specific field such as data science, web development, or automation. If you can write simple functions already, a more advanced course or a field-specific track will save you time. Open the Python Courses on Coursera facet or the Free Python Courses facet instead.

Go back to the Python courses hub or explore the Free Python Courses for Beginners facet.

About 3-6 months at 8-10 hours a week to become job-ready, covering syntax, data structures, functions and a few portfolio projects.
