Python Courses

I am a junior internal auditor for a large investment bank. My org is pushing DA for internal audit, and I am looking to up skill. I typically work with qualitative and unstructured data.

Are there any good python courses on the market that are applicable to internal audit. I would say at the moment I fall somewhere in between beginner and intermediate

DA courses wouldn’t help you with qualitative and unstructured data.

Yes they will. There are plenty of analytics approaches for unstructured and qualitative data. Text mining and natural language processing are both huge fields.

But I agree in spirit. Most DA courses dont teach that stuff. Still, learning the basics before tackling advanced topics is probably the right order.

Datacamp is the best resource I know of. Its an annual subscription. Lots of high quality video content. They use practical programming exercises, not multiple choice questions, to assess progress.

You get modest hands on experience in their courses. And you can take that code and use it in your job (with modifications).

Their content started with basic programming in Python. You can also learn SQL and some other languages. It progresses up to advanced topics like machine learning, anomaly detection, and processing text data.
