Who this course is for

Coding is what makes it possible for anyone to create computer software. Websites, apps, and social media are all made with code--it is a language that tells computers what action to perform. This qualification is designed for anyone who is looking to gain an introduction to coding.

As the world is evolving digitally and the digital sector is growing, this course will give you an insight into the principles of coding, and how coding is used in practice for software development.

This course is FREE for eligible learners. Please enquire further with us regarding the eligibility requirements.
