Live, hands-on, hybrid. Ages 14 to 114.

Start from zero. Leave a Python hacker.

A single, eight-week Python course by Ace Hacker that starts with your very first print and ends with decorators, concurrency, internals, and shipped services. Over 48 hours across Monday-to-Thursday evenings you write real code every session, solve auto-graded challenges, and build seven projects. In Ace Hacker's language, a hacker is a skilled builder who understands the machine. No experience needed. Just curiosity and a laptop.

Why Python

One language. Almost every door.

Python runs websites, data pipelines, AI models, automation, scientific research, and security tools. It reads almost like plain English, which makes it a gentle first language, and it goes deep enough to power some of the largest systems on earth. Learn it properly once and you can move between fields. Tap and drag the charts below.

How it runs

Live classes. Code in every one.

Classes are live and interactive, taught by Vivek Shangari, in a hybrid format: join onsite in Bengaluru or online from anywhere. Classes meet Monday to Thursday, 1.5 hours a day. You code during class, not just watch. Missed sessions are not recorded, so plan to attend.

Who can join

Ages 14 to 114

No programming experience and no academic prerequisite. Batches may be grouped by age range or work experience. A gender-neutral learning environment, open to learners anywhere in the world.

What to bring

Your own device

Bring a laptop and install Python 3.11 before the first class (we send the steps). Snacks and chai or coffee are provided onsite. Arrive on time: the door closes at the start time.

Rhythm

One steady rhythm

Over eight weeks you move through lecture, live coding, labs, and projects in a steady rhythm. Office hours and AMA sessions give you a place to ask what you could not ask in class.

One course, eight weeks

From print("hello") to production.

This is a single, continuous course, not separate levels to buy one at a time. You move through three phases without a break: Foundations, Core Python, and Advanced and Specialisation. One fee covers all of it, base fee plus 18 percent GST.

01

Foundations

Start from scratch. Variables, numbers, text, decisions, loops, collections, functions, files, and errors. You finish able to write useful scripts on your own.

W1–W2weeks
8modules
PCEPskills
  • Exercises and a Cornerstone project
  • No experience required
  • Your first week of live classes
02

Core Python

Think in objects and functions. The Python data model, generators, OOP, modules and testing, regular expressions, databases, networking, concurrency, and GUIs.

W2–W5weeks
10modules
PCAPskills
  • Two Cornerstones and a Keystone
  • Flows straight on from Foundations
  • No gap, no new enrolment
03

Advanced & Specialisation

Go under the hood. Metaclasses, decorators, async, performance, web services, data and AI, a security toolkit, and Python internals. Graduate as a Python hacker.

W5–W8weeks

  • A Cornerstone, a Keystone, and the Capstone

Syllabus

Every module, week by week.

Drag the week slider and see which modules are live. Tap a module to see what you will learn and to jump to the lab that goes with it. Module pacing is indicative and we tune it to the batch.

Live Python

Write real Python right here.

This is genuine CPython 3.11 running inside your browser, no install and no account. Pick a challenge, write your solution, and the grader runs hidden tests against it. The first load downloads about 10 MB, only when you press the button. Your code never leaves your device.

Visual labs

Twenty labs that show what Python is doing.

Python hides a lot of machinery: memory, hashing, the call stack, the method resolution order, bytecode. These miniature labs make it visible. Every number is computed live, so move a slider and watch the machine respond.

The Arena

Practice, compete, and get sharper.

Skill comes from solving problems under pressure. Alongside the lessons you work through coding, algorithm, logic, and math puzzles at four difficulty levels, and you compete in team and individual events.

Puzzles

Four difficulty tiers

Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert exercises across coding, algorithms, logic, and math.

Compete

Sprint coding

Short, timed contests that reward clean, correct code written quickly.

Compete

Marathon hackathons

Long builds where a team turns an idea into a working demo.

Compete

CTFs and War Games

Capture-the-flag puzzles and team war games, in team and individual formats.

Projects

Seven projects. One portfolio.

You finish with proof of work. Four Cornerstone projects build your foundations, two Keystone projects join the pieces, and one Capstone shows everything at once. Work is a mix of team and individual.

Certification and careers

A certificate of ours. A path to the industry ones.

You earn a Certificate of Excellence or a Certificate of Completion from Ace Hacker, based on your performance. This single course also builds the skills that well known Python Institute exams test, across all four exam levels. Those exams are separate, are taken with the Python Institute, and carry their own fees.


  
Challenge Ready

Interview preparation

Mock interviews that copy real pressure, whiteboarding, data structures and algorithms with analysis, impossible questions, and Kobayashi Maru scenarios. Algorithmic, mathematical, and logic puzzles in Python.

Demo Weeks

Show your work

Hiring events where you present projects to visiting companies, who may invite you to technical interviews. An alumni Job Board runs on Slack and Discord, and Partner Connect introduces employers who want to hire from Ace Hacker.

Honest note

Support, not a promise

We open doors and help you prepare. We do not guarantee a job or a salary. What gets you hired is the work you can show and explain.

Schedule and fees

Plan your calendar and your budget.

Classes meet Monday to Thursday, 1.5 hours a day, 6 class hours a week across the 8 weeks. Batch dates and open seats change, so use Notify Me or write to us for the next one.
