As a university lecturer, every year I have new students joining my course who are not truly prepared for higher education. I can see their anxiety and frustration.

Coding is the new literacy. It's all around us, and research shows that 85% of jobs that will exist in 2030 haven't been invented yet.

I have put my 15 years of expertise in designing this course to prepare young students for the future of technology. This is the UK's only coding course for kids accredited by the NCFE, a recognised awarding body.

In addition to teaching your child how to code, this course will also teach them soft skills such as problem solving, creative thinking and innovative design. Valuable skills that can be used in any field and profession.

My son had an amazing time on the course and is still talking about it. He was excited to show us what he learnt. We've tried several online coding classes over the past few months, but Software Academy is the only one that truly impressed us and was worth the investment.
