IT Career Starter Course
Start programming from zero with Python, core data structures and algorithms, MySQL, Git/GitHub, and a Tkinter desktop application.
ABOUT THE COURSE
About IT Career Starter Course
The IT Career Starter Course is designed for learners who are new to programming. It supports students who have completed 12th and want to build programming foundations before or alongside college, as well as graduates who want to begin preparing for an IT career.
Start with programming fundamentals
Learn how to break a task into steps, express logic with Python, use variables and data types, control program flow, write functions, and work with collections. The course assumes no previous programming background and introduces concepts through small, progressively more challenging exercises.
Build problem-solving and database skills
Practice core data structures and algorithms in Python, including lists, dictionaries, stacks, queues, searching, sorting, recursion, and introductory time-complexity reasoning. Learn MySQL fundamentals to create tables, query records, and connect application ideas to stored data.
Learn collaborative tools and make an application
Use Git and GitHub concepts to track changes and organize a project. After the programming and problem-solving foundations, learn Tkinter basics and build a small desktop application that brings interface, logic, and data concepts together.
The course provides a foundation for continued study, projects, and further specialization. It does not guarantee college admission, employment, or a particular career outcome. Course fee: ₹17,000. Duration: 3 months.
