Many times in finance, companies are tasked with analyzing historical data to better predict future outcomes, whether its to value a company, invest in a stock, or to better predict risk. Using Python and Machine learning techniques students can learn to better predict in a faster and more accurate way.
This course will begin with advanced Python and statistic topics such as object-orientated programming and regression models. After learning this first module, students will learn how to apply these concepts using real-world financial data by building a predictive returns model using regression.
The next section of the course will introduce students to important financial statements and ratios. After students learn these financial concepts, they will be introduced on how to pull data from these statements and compute these important financial ratios using Python.
After an initial analysis, students will cover more advanced financial modeling topics that measure present value, cost of capital, and the rate of return of an investment. Students will then apply those concepts using Python and Machine learning to build predictive financial models. After building these models, students will learn how to build out a budgeting model using only Python. Lastly, students will learn how to visualize their findings and export them into a PDF report, Excel file, or SQL database.
At the end of the course, students will feel comfortable making decisions driven by data analysis in Python. This course is perfect for anyone working in all areas of finance, risk management, reporting, general financial management, financial investments.
This course has a prerequisite
This course requires students to be comfortable with Python and its data science libraries (NumPy and Pandas). If a student has not worked in Python before, we require a student to enroll in our Python for Data Science Bootcamp or Python for Finance Bootcamp before taking this course.

Very good course if you want to get into the details of python, data analysis and machine learning concepts. Plenty of time to exercise and try out the concepts at your own pace. Tim is a great teacher who is able to explain complex concepts in a simple way.

Excellent and enjoyable class! Art has a systematic method of teaching that allows for relevant tangents based on the interests of the class. We even spent an entire class on a project I had for work and from which the other students benefitted also. Art is great at focusing on the proper way to think (data types and data structures!) and the logic behind the code, as well as explaining all the concepts and syntax in a methodical fashion that builds well upon previous material. He is also 100% accessible outside of classroom hours for help/questions etc. I am continuing with many other Practical Programming classes. Highly recommend!

I didn't expect to learn much in a 4 session Python course, but Art's teaching style was very fitting for me. As the Chinese proverb states: Tell me, I'll forget. Show me, I'll remember. Involve me, I'll understand.
