FAQs
Item1
My child is new to coding, can he/she still join the Level for his/her age?
We can arrange for a trial session first to see if your child is able to cope and keep up with the lessons at his current age level.
The trial will also help us to assess your child to see if he/she should start at a lower age level, or in some cases, start at a higher age level.
After the trial, our Code Mentors will consult with you and recommend an appropriate age level for your child.
My child has attended coding classes before, can he/she start at a higher level?
We can arrange for a trial session first to see if your child is able to cope and keep up with the lessons at his current age level.
The trial will also help us to assess your child to see if he/she should start at a lower age level, or in some cases, start at a higher age level.
