The preparatory course in Programming A/1 is a web-based, self-paced course for you who lack a pass grade in programming but want to apply for an IT programme at Nackademin. The course introduces basic programming concepts in Python, from variables and data types to object-oriented programming, and ends with a written examination. A pass gives eligibility in Programming A/1.
