Questions about certificate prerequisites and AWS

Hi, I have two questions

  1. The certificate FaQ said that I need an intermediate python knowledge, may I know what topics does it mean by “intermediate”? And is numpy and pandas included?

  2. The certificate teaches with AWS, and AWS requires a credit or debit card to verify the account, I don’t have one. Does the certificate provide a way to create an account without a credit or debit card?

Knowledge in understanding when reading Python code, most of it!

They will provide you with an environment to work on for the duration of the course(s).

But what topics are considered as intermediate?
