Short conversational excerpt from a YouTube video (Tim Davies) describing a 12-week training program that takes learners from no coding experience to substantial Python development ability. The speakers emphasize that motivation/mindset is critical for success and note an accompanying governance & policy module taught in plain English that asks learners to apply basic concepts to real-world scenarios with people.

Some of our people come to this with no knowledge of coding at all, you know and over a 12 week period become quasi proficient in a coding language.
They go beyond that. I think that program is very well designed. It takes them to quite a significant level of Python development very quickly and to be successful on that program means you've got to have had the right mindset to start with and.
I think they do. If not the mindset then at least the motivation and I think one can overcome the other.
Absolutely.
You know, so they might not quite know what they're getting into but if they're sure they want to get into it then they'll jump those hurdles, you know and the final one which we offer at the moment, the governance and policy now that's non technical, it's plain English but it requires you to understand some basic concepts and to then apply them into real world and this is real world scenarios with real people.
