Python Certified Professional Python Programming Level 2 (PCPP2) Exam Voucher

The PCPP2 – Certified Professional Python Programmer Level 2 certification (Exam PCPP-32-20x) is a high-stakes professional credential designed for experienced developers, IT specialists, engineers, software and system architects, and seasoned professionals. This certification validates your expert-level proficiency in designing, developing, debugging, refactoring, implementing, and maintaining high-quality multi-module systems, tools, and frameworks using Python Standard and non-Standard Library components, along with related technologies.

Key Areas Covered:

The PCPP2 exam covers an extensive range of advanced Python topics, ensuring you possess a comprehensive skill set for complex development. Key areas include:

  • Creating and Distributing Packages: Mastering the use of `pip`, package structures, `setup.py`, and best practices for sharing, storing, installing, documenting, licensing, and advanced testing frameworks (`unittest`, `pytest`).
  • Implementing Design Patterns in Python: A deep understanding and practical application of various design patterns, such as Singleton, Factory, Facade, Proxy, Observer, Command, Template Method, Model-View-Controller (MVC), and State Design patterns.
  • Advanced Library Modules: Expert knowledge of specialized modules for tasks like interprocess communication (IPC), network programming, and advanced file operations.
  • Interprocess Communication (IPC): Utilizing `multiprocessing` for process-based parallelism, `threading` for thread-based parallelism, `subprocess` for managing external commands, and sophisticated multiprocessing synchronization techniques (e.g., queues, sockets, `mmap`).
  • Python Network Programming: In-depth understanding of the Python `socket` module, various network communication models (client-server, peer-to-peer), and advanced internet protocols.
  • SQL and NoSQL Database Operations: Proficiency in relational database principles, advanced CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) with Python for both SQL (e.g., MySQL) and potentially NoSQL databases.
  • Unit and Functional Testing Frameworks: Implementing robust testing strategies to ensure the quality and reliability of your Python applications.
  • Math, Science, and Engineering Tools: Leveraging powerful libraries like `NumPy`, `SciPy`, `Matplotlib`, `Pandas`, and `SciKit-image` for scientific computing, data analysis, and image processing.
