CLA - C Programming Language Certified Associate (C++ Institute)

The course fully covers the basics of programming in the “C” programming language and demonstrates fundamental programming techniques, customs and vocabulary including the most common library functions and the usage of the preprocessor.

Learning objectives:
1) To familiarize the trainee with basic concepts of computer programming and developer tools.
2) To present the syntax and semantics of the “C” language as well as data types offered by the language.
3) To allow the trainee to write their own programs using standard language infrastructure regardless of the hardware or software platform.
Course outline:
1) Introduction to compiling and software development.
2) Basic scalar data types and their operators.
3) Flow control.
4) Complex data types: arrays, structures and pointers.
5) Structuring the code: functions and modules.
6) Preprocessing source code.
The start date of the course is selected by a candidate, just like the end date, max. 20 weeks after starting date. The course length is selected by a candidate, from 40 days to 20 weeks.
Upon completing the course and passing final assessment (min. 70% score), the student is eligible for a 50% discount voucher for exam in C at one of Pearon VUE’s testing centres.

This course will introduce the learner to text mining and text manipulation basics. The course begins with an understanding of how text is handled by python, the structure of text both to the machine and to humans, and an overview of the nltk framework for manipulating text. The second week focuses on common manipulation needs, including regular expressions (searching for text), cleaning text, and preparing text for use by machine learning processes. The third week will apply basic natural language processing methods to text, and demonstrate how text classification is accomplished. The final week will explore more advanced methods for detecting the topics in documents and grouping them by similarity (topic modelling).
