Level

The first step in the coding journey

Level 1 courses are aimed at those who are new to learning coding in Python. They are also suitable for those who may have already done a bit of Python—a Level 1 course ensures that the fundamentals on which all of coding are built are well understood.

Although we start from the fundamentals in all our age groups in Level 1, we progress at a faster pace for older age groups.

A Level 1 course is the starting point for learning coding in Python. Students will then progress through higher level courses and all our students can access support during and after courses through our student forum.

What to expect from a codetoday course

Our live online courses deliver the best of both worlds: interactive live sessions and on-demand videos and other resources.

The next set of term time courses start on the 22nd February and new courses start every few weeks. Courses are split into three age groups: 7-9, 10-12 and 13-16 and each course has various start times providing lots of flexibility.

Each course has four live sessions held once a week. These are interactive lessons led by a codetoday instructor within our dedicated online learning platform.

Consolidate Learning through Independent Coding

What's the difference between Coding in Python Courses and codetodayEXPLORE?

In the Coding in Python courses we are introducing new topics, new concepts and new coding methods. These can be consolidated further through codetodayEXPLORE sessions in which students work on projects individually with our instructors guiding them through the various stages of a coding project: planning, writing the code, finding and fixing bugs and errors, and testing the code.

The aim of codetodayEXPLORE is to help students become more independent and self-sufficient in their coding and to consolidate and practise the topics they learned in the courses.

Sessions are scheduled after the Coding in Python courses
Our instructors work with each student on their individual projects
You can add codetodayEXPLORE sessions to your course at the booking stage

How we teach coding online

Course Description

Details on our curriculum and methods

We believe that the most important skill to learn is to be able to think in the manner required to be able to communicate with a computer. This includes thinking in a logical and systematic way, problem-solving, and fostering a mindset in which errors are seen as a key part of learning — these are all key aspects of programming and skills that are relevant beyond coding as well.

All our courses:

have small class sizes to ensure individual attention;
focus on understanding how to communicate with a computer through coding, which is the essential skill for a good programmer;
teach the fundamentals of computer programming thoroughly while making sure it's fun and engaging. We deliberately choose to teach Python programming on a computer rather than using other gadgets and devices that can distract from learning the basics of coding well;
include additional resources: videos and notes to act as a reminder of what was covered in the course;
include a support package for six months after the end of the course;
put equal importance on having exceptional content and exceptional delivery as we believe that both are critical to learn a specialised subject such as coding.

Courses are centred around one or more projects including writing animations and games through which we cover the key topics in programming, including data types and data structures, conditional statements, control flow and functions, and focus on the skills required to plan and construct a computer program in an efficient manner.
