I’m in the process of transitioning from my current career in teaching to the NLP career via the Python path and while I’ve been learning on my own for about three months now I’ve found it a bit too slow and wanted to see if there’s a good course (described in the title) that’s really worth the money and time investment and would make things easier for someone like me?
One important requirement is that (for this purpose) I’ve no interest in exclusively self-study courses where you are supposed to watch videos or read text on your own without ever meeting anyone in real-time.
Does harvards cs50 series count? I don’t think they’re live, and I’m not sure if you can interact with the instructors, so it might not be what you’re looking for.

Like, that’s the number one thing for me, I’ve already got a ton of recorded courses which I’m going through (very slowly), so I really want to see if there’s something for me like a course with real people interacting with me either in a group or 1on1 environment, as I’d prefer that way more than studying completely on my own. I’m not against self learning (I’m doing that anyways), but I want to see what a more proper course would do for me.
Check local community colleges? My province has a few that offer pretty decent coding courses.
I’ve never met/zoomed/chatted with a teacher in real time but you can usually ask questions in lecture or whatnot.
Unfortunately I’m an expat who lives in the Vietnamese countryside so I need a comprehensive online course with tutors/classes that brings real results and not just some shady bootcamp.
