Real skills. Real data. Real problems.

Everything below has been built with one goal — to give you something genuinely useful, not a watered-down preview.

Watch & Learn
YouTube · Session 1
Session 1 — Foundations
Your first Python program, built the right way. Covers pseudocode, data flow diagrams, pandas, pivot tables, and a complete end-to-end analysis — all in one session.

Challenges & Materials
Challenge + Dataset
1-Week Python Challenge
A structured data challenge built on 155,000+ real salary records. Exactly the format used inside the course — a problem, a dataset, and your logic to solve it.

Challenge
API Challenge
Call real-world APIs — including the OpenAI API. A skill the vast majority of Python courses skip entirely, and one of the most in-demand in modern data roles.

Access Challenge
Material
Pseudocode → Python Cheat Sheet
The logic-first approach at the core of this course. Plan in plain English before you write a single line of Python. Includes a real salary dataset line to practice immediately.

Cohort 2 · In Progress

Session 1 is done.
The results speak.

Students brought their own problem formulations on Day 1 — real-world, not textbook
A complete analysis was built and presented in the very first session
Peers from across the globe — structured solutions, hands-on, accountable
Covered: pseudocode, data flow, pandas, pivot tables, plotting — and a dashboarding technique most never encounter
"This is the future of learning — do things, and learn in the process. Don't wait months before you can get started with analysis."
You can still join. A dedicated recap session is available for everyone who enrols now.

Alumni Reviews

What Cohort 1 said.

"Refreshing and well designed. Even with prior Python experience, I found the topics around APIs and machine learning particularly clear and well explained. I would highly recommend this course."

"Theory combined with hands-on practice, making it easy to apply concepts immediately to real-world datasets. By the end I felt confident in data cleaning, visualisation, and statistical analysis. This course has definitely opened the door to tackling more complex data projects."

"It does not follow the conventional method to learn Python. It is designed so that you self-learn how to code in the process — relevant modules are taught progressively, and Generative AI is incorporated in a way that makes this course genuinely different."

Questions

Common questions answered.

Are these resources always available, with no sign-up required?
Yes — everything above is available directly, no registration required. The resources are a genuine contribution to the community and will remain accessible.
What does the full course include that the resources don't?
The full Cohort 2 includes 8 structured live sessions, three end-to-end portfolio projects, weekly 1:1 mentorship with Rahim, a peer cohort holding you accountable, lifetime access to all recordings, and a certificate of completion. It's the structured, mentored journey — not self-guided exploration.
I work full-time — is the time commitment realistic?
Yes — the course is designed for working professionals. Expect 2 hours of live session each Sunday, plus 4–6 hours on assignments and projects. All sessions are recorded, so you won't fall behind if a session clashes with your schedule.
What if the course isn't right for me?
Cohort 2 is backed by the Maven Guarantee — you're eligible for a full refund through the second week of the course, no questions asked. You have time to experience it before fully committing.
