    Frequently Asked Questions About Python Classes

    Here are the questions we receive most often:

    I have zero programming experience. Is AI100 suitable for me?

    Definitely! Our AI100 Python course is designed specifically for beginners with zero programming knowledge. You should have no problems catching up with the class as our materials are well-organised for after-class review. Our courses are also taught by experienced instructors and supported by teaching assistants who provide in-class and after-class support.

    In fact, a sizable majority of our past AI100 students had no Python or programming background, and all of them not only managed to pass and are able to apply coding to build incredible visualisations such as this geospatial visualisation by the end of the course. Feel free to browse through some reviews given by past Heicoders students who have successfully graduated from our online courses.

    If I choose not to take AI100 and start with AI200, what are the prerequisites needed?

    For AI200, Python proficiency is a must, as there will no longer be any focus on teaching syntax from AI200 onwards. We’ll be focusing heavily on Machine Learning concepts and more advanced data wrangling / visualisation techniques from AI200 on, so familiarity with Pandas and data visualisation techniques taught in AI100 are helpful for keeping up with class.

    We would recommend that you proceed with AI200 if you have taken a Python course elsewhere and are comfortable working with Python. For students in this category, we would offer direct support to help you bridge the necessary requirements in preparation for AI200, in the form of learning materials and installation instructions to help get you set up and ready for the class.

    Is there any form of certification upon completing the course?
    Yes, digital certs are provided upon completion! All Heicoders students will receive a digital certificate (accessible via website, PDF downloadable) which can also be uploaded as a Linkedin digital certificate. Here’s an example below (link here), and instructions on how to do so will be provided at the end of the course.
    Can I take both AI100 and AI200 concurrently?
    For payment could I make a deposit first, and complete the payment closer to the course’s commencement date?
    I am keen on your class but can’t make it for one session. Is there a makeup class?

    Yes, a makeup class is possible on a case-by-case basis. We strongly advocate for full attendance among students, yet we recognize that severe unforeseen events may occur. For such instances, We will grant such students a one-time accommodation to attend a makeup session or a live stream of the recorded class.

     

    For Learners Intending To Use Subsidies

    If you are planning on using any subsidies (e.g. UTAP, IBF, SkillsFuture Credits), do note that these subsidies require learners to have at least 75% class attendance before you are eligible for subsidies.

    Any difference between Windows and macOS laptops for students? Is one preferred?

    No, there is no preference. Both Windows and Mac operating systems are suitable for use in our online Python course, as previous students have successfully used them without significant problems. Approximately two weeks prior to the commencement of the course, we will distribute a detailed installation manual that includes tailored guidelines for both Mac and Windows users. Additionally, we recommend that students consider utilising external monitors for a more comfortable learning experience.

    Will students be provided recorded sessions to revise the weekly lectures?

    Yes, lesson recordings are provided.

    You are welcome to use the lesson recordings and materials for reference whenever you need a review of a particular lesson. Our Heicoders curriculum team takes great pride in documenting the class content thoroughly, so feel free to go through the lesson materials at your own pace. You could always reach out to your Teaching Assistants as well if you have questions outside of class.

    I just registered for the course and am a NTUC Union member. How do I apply for the UTAP subsidy?

    The UTAP subsidy is disbursed by NTUC to eligible students on a reimbursement basis. After completing the course, Heicoders students can then apply on the NTUC website for reimbursement, and upon approval they would usually receive a direct deposit from NTUC to their bank accounts within two to three weeks.

    You may find more details on the eligibility requirements and claims process on this NTUC UTAP website. On Heicoders’ end, we provide a PDF step-by-step guide on how to submit the claim to all students at the end of the course.
