It helped me so much in upskilling myself and increasing my knowledge. I’m now reputed in my college because I was the only guy with the training certificate and knowledge in the whole batch. Many students, teachers, and even my HOD also came to ask me how I did it and what the advantages were, etc. Also, because of Programming with Python training, I’ve scored good marks in this field, and I’m doing 3 projects with the application of Python. It was a great experience for my career.”
