<p>“I have developed a range of skills, which are really useful to me, but also in demand from employers; such as software coding in python and data handling.”</p>
<p>The course which lasts 12-weeks, is delivered over one day, and one evening, per week. It is delivered in two locations, with learners having the option to study in Bristol or Weston-super-Mare.</p>
