Interactive courses

Choose courses based on your proficiency level and learn the basics of Python, or improve your skills in specific subjects like NumPy or Tkinter.

Practice first

There is no way to learn programming without practice. In our courses, theory is followed by coding exercises to ensure that the concepts really stick.

Instant feedback

Receive instant feedback on your assignments and get extra assistance with hints and helpful error messages whenever you feel like you are stuck on a task.

Real-world applications

With the JetBrains Academy integration, you can learn Python by creating applications, such as your own spam filter, chat bot, and a simple search engine.

Programming contests

If you have experience in Python, challenge yourself with a Codeforces contest. Leverage PyCharm’s features to save some time and get ahead of the competition.

Gamified challenges

Our CheckiO integration provides gamified coding challenges that you can solve right in your IDEs. Select your proficiency level, start the game, and have fun!

Do you want to motivate your students to study, facilitate their learning process, and help them truly enjoy programming? PyCharm’s educational functionality has got you covered.

Create a course

Building your own course and filling it with lessons is easy! Especially when you have all of the necessary tools in your IDE.

Test knowledge

Add different tasks to your course such as multiple choice questions, theoretical topics, or coding exercises validated by output.

Add placeholders

Create placeholders, such as “type here”, and create a dependency between them so learners can reuse code between tasks.
