This online coding course is for participants looking to take their first steps in learning to code, or looking to improve on existing coding skills. It introduces participants to Python – a modern programming language with a gentle learning curve.

Python is an ideal first programming language that makes it possible to write short programs quickly, before progressing onto more advanced topics. Python also has a wide range of pre-built libraries for building larger projects in a wide variety of games, AI, scientific and business applications. Coding with Python is limited only by the participants imagination.

Sessions run weekly and are led by a LIVE! tutor in an online classroom. Tutors provide attendees with guidance in real-time, along with progress reviews during the sessions. This course is available to start anytime during the year, and participants of all abilities are welcome from absolute beginners to those with prior coding experience.

All of our Duke of Edinburgh courses offer the option to pay fees in monthly instalments. At the end of the course, attendees will receive a Spark4Kids certificate and a Skills Assessor report which will be submitted to the Duke of Edinburgh towards your eventual skills award.
