Kevin's PDI experience
After getting bogged down in code camp and tutorials, I took the PDI course to jump start my familiarity with Python. I’m very glad I did so — the course offered a balance of structure and flexibility that enabled me to learn quickly and at a pace where I could fully understand the code I was writing. The 1:1 conversations were essential for improving my skills and my confidence. I’ve since been able to build some simple applications for fun and enjoyment using open source libraries.
3 Steps to success
01
envision your APPs and PLAN your 6-week program
Envision your apps using mindmaps and then derive milestones, issues and a roadmap. Set up a GitHub Project so you learn how to work as a developer. You will gain a lot of clarity and a crystal-clear path to achieve your goals.
02
improve your python skills and build your capstone project
With a solid plan, you iteratively improve your python and developer skills. Finally, you deploy your app to the cloud. Weekly mindset calls and code clinics as well as an archive of group coaching calls are rich resources for you - both in terms of knowledge and emotional support.
03
publish your code and
celebrate your certification
In 6 weeks you can earn the exclusive PDI Certification. Unlock new career paths by proving to your new employer your dedication to your craft. Your coach will make sure that you learn all it takes to build your apps and reach your career goals.

Robin Beer PDM & PDI Coach
Robin studied physics and started a PhD in energy systems analysis before joining a startup as founding engineer in which he ideated and implemented the first tech stack. Robin loves the IDE of VS Code to write clean code via test-driven development. He prefers to iteratively develop apps with streamlit and FastAPI to create MVPs of startup ideas. Therefore, he leverages frameworks like pulumi for infrastructure-as-code and prefect for orchestration - leveraging Python for the entire toolchain.
Christo Oliver PDM Coach
Christo has been a data architect and engineer delivering data platforms and solutions for 16 years. Long before Python arrived in the data world, he started seeing its potential and taught himself how to use the language and apply it to data projects. Python now plays a significant role in his work, and he has gained extensive experience in how to apply it in real-world projects. Throughout his career, teaching and presenting training has been an important part. He is excited to share his knowledge and industry experience with students to help them with their Python projects.
Ryan PDM & PDI Coach
Ryan enjoys lounging on the beach with his wife, a good book and his two daughters – busy at play. You know what else Ryan loves? Coding! Especially coding in Python. He enjoys teaching it, talking about it, reading about it, the podcasts… one might say it’s a bit much. A lot of Ryan’s day is spent either developing new tools, or maintaining the codebase for his Django SaaS app. Other than beaching or coding, Ryan does manage several businesses, plays a bit of pickle ball, and teaches robotics and coding to kids all over The Bahamas.
