Discuss the starting point

Foundation is designed for ages 10–12. Existing experience, project work and individual goals guide entry to Intermediate and University Application Projects.

HOW YOU LEARN

The right course. The right support.

Build on what the student already understands, with practical work shaped around the next goal.

Live weekend classes

Learn through live discussion, individual tasks and mentor feedback, with an active role in building each project.

Individual mentoring

Shape the project direction, task difficulty and feedback around the student’s experience and goals.

Course cards show fees and the number of weekend sessions. Session length, time zone and start arrangements are confirmed during enrolment. Individual mentoring and VIP Private Education Plans are quoted separately.

A clear process behind every project.

  1. Establish the starting point

    Review current understanding, interests and learning goals.

  2. Define the project

    Choose an appropriate task and agree intended outputs.

  3. Build and review

    Take an active role in the work and improve it through feedback.

  4. Present and reflect

    Document the work and explain decisions and learning.

Subject knowledge. Practical experience.

Computing, software engineering and AI courses are led by engineers. Our team includes senior engineers, Chartered Engineers (CEng) and AI engineers, bringing practical experience to project development and technical review. Mentors are matched to the course and project.

Before choosing a course.

Where should a student with no coding experience begin?

Discover Coding is designed for ages 10–12 and welcomes beginners. Interactive stories, simple games and creative tasks introduce the ideas behind programming.

How do Intermediate and University Application Projects differ?

Intermediate develops applied programming for students who already understand the basics. University Application Projects focus on practical software or AI work related to an intended subject. Existing experience and individual goals help determine the appropriate pathway.

How are the three course fees calculated?

Foundation is charged per student per session, Intermediate per student per hour, and University Application Projects per student per month. Course cards also show the weekend schedule. Session length and time zones are confirmed during enrolment.

Are a recommendation letter and certificate included?

University Application Projects include a project letter of recommendation and a project completion certificate. Issuing arrangements are explained with the project details. Students take an active role in the work and develop an account of their own contribution.
