PCEP™ – Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer
(Exam PCEP-30-0x)
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.
PCEP™ – Certified Entry-Level
Python Programmer certification (Exam PCEP-30-0x) is a professional credential that
measures the candidate's ability to accomplish coding tasks related to the essentials
of programming in the Python language. A test candidate should demonstrate sufficient
knowledge of the universal concepts of computer programming, the syntax and semantics
of the Python language, as well as the skills in resolving typical implementation
challenges with the help of the Python Standard Library.
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.
