FAQ

What is the best online Python course?

The short answer: DataCamp's Introduction to Python. This free, immersive course covers a wide range of relevant subjects and tools and provides both clearly explained theoretical concepts and practical exercises based on real-world data. What's more, at DataCamp you can continue your Python learning path adapted to your specific purposes by choosing from a plethora of global career tracks, narrow-focus skill tracks, and independent courses.

Are Datacamp Python courses free?

DataCamp offers some free courses and the opportunity to check out the first chapter of any course free of charge. However, the basic free plan is rather limited. To unlock the full potential of DataCamp, consider buying our Premium plan that offers much more. 

How long does it take to finish a Python course?

A convenient feature of any DataCamp course or track is that you can immediately see the average time required to complete each one (most Python courses are 4 hours). Keep in mind that this is only the estimated time it takes to go through course exercises and videos. Once you add in the pausing and reviewing you'll likely need, it will probably take you a few days to work through a course, and another week or so of practice to memorize the commands and syntax you learned.  

Which Python course should I start with?

If you are a total beginner and don't know where to start, start with the most basic introductory DataCamp courses, for example:

This will give you a taste of using Python for data-related tasks and help you make up your mind on which learning path to take further. 

Which Python courses are best for machine learning?

If you're asking this question, chances are you are seeking general-purpose Python courses for machine learning. Consider the following selection of courses, which are more foundational in nature:
