PREREQUISITES

There are no prerequisites for this programme. Prior knowledge on any of the topics is not required.

Overview

Learn how to use Python to automate highly repetitive tasks that currently consume a large number of working hours and get an understanding of handling large scale data analysis through algorithmic methods.

This course introduces basic coding skills to participants through a series of hands-on exercises to solve accounting and finance problems. The coding language will be Python which is the industry standard for data oriented professionals. Python is widely recognised for its ease of learning, making it suitable for participants with little to zero coding experience. It is also supported with many data analysis and machine learning tools which provides the more experienced participants with a powerful tool at their disposal.

Enterprise software comes with limitations that often create additional and unnecessary workloads. With relevant skills in coding, participants will be able to make their organisation’s data work for them more efficiently. These skills can be leveraged to drive their individual and their organisation’s competitive advantages.

Learning Objectives

  • Setup a coding environment to write and run code in Python
  • Load and aggregate data from commonly available sources (pdf, csv, xls)
  • Write algorithms to manage, process and optimise data
  • Create data visualisations for analysis and reporting

Assessment

As part of the requirement for SkillsFuture Singapore, there will be an assessment conducted at the end of the course. The mode of assessment, which is up to the trainer’s discretion, may be an online quiz, a presentation or based on classroom exercises.

Participants are required to attain a minimum of 75% attendance and pass the associated assessment in order to receive a digital Certificate of Completion issued by Singapore Management University.
