Hello Tibs, we met at PyConUK a year or two back, I hope to say Hi again in a month's time at the next one.
My group run Data Science and High Performance Python training based out of London. The first focuses on improving numpy/scipy/TDD skills, the second on profiling/compiling/JITs/multi-core/clusters/less RAM/storage system/debugging. Both have lots of exercises and they're very hands-on. I've taught for years at PyCons, EuroSciPys, EuroPythons and I've just finished writing O'Reilly's book on High Performance Python. Course details here: http://ianozsvald.com/2014/08/01/python-training-courses-data-science-and-high-performance-python-coming-in-october/ via my Data Science agency http://modelinsight.io/ Cheers, Ian.
