Python Programming Associate
Write Python that another person can read and run.
Add it to your LinkedIn profile with the insiderOne logo, verifiable by anyone.
What you will be able to do
- Predict exactly what a short Python program prints, before running it
- Write small functions that return values, with lists, dictionaries and loops
- Read a CSV file, clean its text and turn it into numbers you can trust
- Read a traceback from the bottom up and fix the line it points to
- Set up a project with a virtual environment and a requirements.txt
- Write pytest-style tests that would catch a real bug
Students and freshers aiming at software, data or AI internships, who have watched Python tutorials and now need to read, fix and write real code without help.

The mandi price report
A Python program that produces the mandi price report from the CSV, at least three tests for its calculation, and a short note on how to run it and what it does with bad rows.
About 125 minutes in total.
Two levels
Finish the units and the project and you get the Certificate of Completion. Pass the live skill challenge on Python at Practitioner level or above and it becomes a Verified Certificate, which anyone you send it to can check for themselves.
Questions
What does it cost?
Nothing while insiderOne is in beta.
Can an employer check it?
Yes. Every certificate has its own page, and the code printed on it resolves there without anyone needing an account.
Do I need any experience?
No. These are written for students and people in their first job, and they assume nothing.
What do I actually walk away with?
The certificate, and the piece of work you made for the project. That goes into your insiderOne profile as a proof item, private until you choose to show it.
Know someone studying this?
It is free while insiderOne is in beta, and the certificate is checkable by anyone they send it to.
