[PCEP – Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer]

PCEP – Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer certification shows that the individual is familiar with universal computer programming concepts like data types, containers, functions, conditions, loops, as well as Python programming language syntax, semantics, and the runtime environment.

The PCEP certification shows that the individual is familiar with the following concepts: fundamental terms and definitions (e.g. compilation vs. interpretation), Python’s logic and structure (e.g. keywords, instructions, indentation), literals, variables, and numeral systems, operators and data types, I/O operations, control flow mechanisms (conditional blocks and loops), data collections (lists, tuples, dictionaries, strings), functions (decomposition, built-in and user-defined functions, organizing interaction between functions and their environment, generators, recursion), exceptions (exception handling, hierarchies), as well as the essentials of Python programming language syntax, semantics, and the runtime environment.

Exam details:

• validity: lifetime

• duration: 40 or 45 minutes + 5 minutes NDA/tutorial

• passing score: 70%

• format: single and multiple choice questions, drag & drop, gap fill, sort, code fill, code insertion

• languages: English, Spanish

• price: about 60 USD

[PCAP – Certified Associate in Python Programming]

PCAP – Certified Associate in Python Programming certification is a professional, high-stakes credential that measures the candidate’s ability to perform intermediate-level coding tasks in the Python language, including the ability to design, develop, debug, execute, and refactor multi-module Python programs, as well as measures their skills and knowledge related to analyzing and modeling real-life problems in OOP categories with the use of the fundamental notions and techniques available in the object-oriented approach.

The PCAP certification shows that the individual is familiar with the following concepts: modules, packages, and PIP, character encoding, strings and string processing, generators, iterators, closures, files, file streams, and file processing, exception hierarchies, and exception classes and objects, working with selected Standard Library modules, and the fundamentals of the Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) approach.

PCAP – Certified Associate in Python Programming certification gives its holders confidence in their programming skills, helps them stand out in the job market, and gives them a head start on preparing for and advancing to the professional level.

Exam details:

• validity: lifetime

• duration: 65 minutes + 10 minutes NDA/tutorial

• passing score: 70%

• number of questions: 40

• format: single and multiple choice questions

• languages: English

• price: about 300 USD
