One subject, four levels, a clear path through
Every learner starts where they are. Move from Beginners through to Expert at your own pace, with a tutor who builds each session around where you actually are, not just your age or grade.
Introduction to Computers and Computing
Understanding the components of a computer system, differentiating hardware and software, and exploring computer peripherals and input/output devices.
Introduction to Programming Concepts
Basics of algorithmic thinking and problem-solving, understanding variables, data types and operators, plus control structures such as conditionals and loops.
Introduction to Computer Networks
Basics of computer networks and the internet, understanding protocols, IP addresses and domains, and an introduction to network security and safe online practices.
Web Development Basics
Introduction to HTML tags, elements and structure, styling web pages with CSS selectors, properties and values, control structures such as conditionals and loops, and an introduction to functions and modular programming.
Programming Fundamentals
A recap of basic programming concepts, advanced control structures such as nested loops and switch statements, arrays and data structures for storing and manipulating data, and file handling and data input/output operations.
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Concepts
Understanding classes, objects and inheritance, encapsulation, polymorphism and abstraction, and an introduction to OOP principles such as SOLID and DRY, working with class libraries and APIs.
Introduction to Databases and SQL
Basics of relational databases and data modelling, an introduction to SQL for querying and manipulating data, database design and normalisation principles, and understanding database management systems (DBMS).
Web Development with Frameworks
Introduction to popular web development frameworks such as Django and Flask, creating dynamic web applications with server-side scripting, integrating databases and handling user authentication, and the basics of version control using Git.
