This course can be taught with a tutor remotely or within the classroom.  If you opt for remote teaching you will not need to purchase any software for this course.  However, you will need a working computer with working speakers and Internet access.  A microphone would be useful but not essential.
An alternative course we offer at the same level is C++ Programming.  We also offer an introductory version of this course titled “Introduction to Python Coding”.

Applicants should have a keen interest in the topic and be prepared to do some self studying.
