Answers to your questions

My child has no experience. Will it be hard for them to ramp up?

No experience is required. We accommodate all types of students and experience levels.

My child has done some coding before. Will they have to start from the very beginning?

No. We offer a free trial session and during that session our instructor will talk to your child and determine what level they should start at.

How do the make-up classes work?

We realise that life happens and that your child might not always be able to attend their regular class slots, maybe you are going on holidays or that something else came up. That's no problem - just let us know in advance by email and then your child can join another session at a future time.

How many sessions a week can we have?

You can come as little as once a week or up to 3 times a week. This way you can suit your timetable and budget. The more you come the quicker your child will progress.

 

I will away for summer. Can I pause my child's classes while on holidays?

Yes, absolutely, we all love summer. If you want to pause your child's classes for a month or two of summer, please send us an email with your child's name, the months that you would like to pause, and an expected date that you would come back. We will pause your child's payment and classes for the duration that you request. We do request that you use up your makeup classes the month before.

 

My kids already have a lot of screen time. Why should I expose them to more?

You’re likely opposed to screen time because it’s seen as useless and purely a form of entertainment. That’s understandable. Screen time at Kids Coding Academy is productive, where students use technology to develop technical expertise, amongst other skills such as teamwork, problem solving, and more. Kids are truly enjoying and taking pride in their work, while learning valuable skills they aren’t getting anywhere else. We’re contributing to your child adopting better habits through building new games and apps, which will set them up for success down the road.

Does my child need to bring their own laptop?

If your child has access to a laptop then please bring it with you to class. If not then we have a few spare laptops you can use for the duration of the class. We also ask you to please bring headphones for the class as there will be times when it will help your child to focus for part of the class.

My child or other family member has to quarantine for Covid what can I do?

If your child or other close family member has Covid 19 symptoms we ask that they please don't attend class. After they are better they can come to an extra class to make up for the missed class.

Can my child join at any time of the year or do I have to wait for a new term?

Each child gets an account on our learning management system which means they can start at any time and progress at their own pace. Our instructors will then guide them and help them when they get stuck.
