Why Coding for Kids

The Right Business.
At the Right Time.

💻

A Market That's Exploding

Coding is the new literacy. Parents across every income group are actively seeking quality coding education for their children — and supply is nowhere near demand in most communities.

🏫

A Proven, Complete System

You don't build the curriculum, the platform, or the certifications. Code College has done all of that. You focus on running your centre and growing your learner base.

🌍

Globally Scalable Model

The Coding for Kids LMS is cloud-based and country-independent. Our franchise model is designed for South Africa and every English-speaking market worldwide.

🎓

Set Your Own Learner Fees

Head office does not prescribe what you charge parents. You price for your local market, keeping the difference as your revenue after the royalty fee.

🤝

You're Never Alone

From launch support to teacher certification to an online teaching service — head office is your silent business partner every step of the way.

🏆

A Brand That Means Something

Code College is a trusted name in technology education. When parents see your Coding for Kids franchise, they already know the quality they're getting.

What's Included

Everything You Need.
Ready on Day One.

Your joining fee covers a complete, launch-ready system. This is what R120,000 buys you.

📚

School-Aligned Syllabus + 5 Interest Tracks

Serve schools with a prescribed coding syllabus and learners who want to pursue their passion. Five interest-based tracks — Coding Fundamentals, App Development, Game Development, Robotics & Hardware (BBC micro:bit and Raspberry Pi), and Business — give every learner a reason to enrol.

🖥️

Cloud-Based LMS Platform

Your learners access world-class interactive lessons through any web browser. No software installation, no server management — maintained entirely by Code College.

📜

Certification for Every Learner

Code College issues formal certification to learners who complete any track or syllabus level. Adds real value for parents and makes your franchise stand out in the market.

🎯

Brand Licence & Territory

You receive an exclusive Coding for Kids territory — head office will not open a competing franchise in your area while you meet performance standards.

🧑‍🏫

Onboarding & Teacher Training

Your team completes the Code College Teacher Certification Workshop before they teach their first class. Ongoing support, a teacher helpdesk, and annual summits keep them sharp.

📣

Marketing Support & Launch Playbook

Brand guidelines, marketing templates, a pre-opening campaign playbook, and national brand credibility — everything you need to fill your first cohort of learners.

The Curriculum

Two Ways to Deliver.
One Powerful Platform.

Not all schools have a prescribed coding syllabus — and that's an opportunity. Coding for Kids offers a school-aligned curriculum and five standalone interest-based tracks, so your franchise can serve every type of learner in your area.

🖥️
Coding Fundamentals
Block coding, computational thinking, and programming logic — the essential starting point
📱
App Development
Design and build real mobile and web applications — hands-on, project-based learning
🎮
Game Development
Create games from scratch — a natural hook for young learners who love playing to start building
🤖
Robotics & Hardware
BBC micro:bit (Explorer · ages 10–13) progressing to Raspberry Pi (Pioneer · ages 14–17) — code that controls real hardware
💼
Business & Tech
Digital entrepreneurship, tech for business, and the skills future founders need
School-Aligned Option: For schools with a prescribed IT or coding syllabus, franchisees can also deliver a fully structured school-aligned curriculum — the same LMS, the same certification, just mapped to school requirements.
🔧 Physical Computing Progression: The Robotics & Hardware track introduces BBC micro:bit in the Explorer programme (Gr 7–9 / ages 10–13), then progresses to Raspberry Pi physical computing in the Pioneer programme (Gr 10–12 / ages 14–17) — real hardware, real projects, real-world skills.

Who Can Franchise

You Don't Have to Be
a Teacher to Run This.

Two very different people make excellent Coding for Kids franchisees.

Profile A

The Educator-Franchisee

A teacher or education professional ready to run their own business

  • Current or former teacher, tutor, or school administrator
  • Already understands how kids learn — the LMS does the lesson planning
  • Wants to build financial independence using skills they already have
  • Can teach classes personally (after completing teacher certification)
  • Reduces lesson prep time to near zero — curriculum is fully built
Profile B

The Entrepreneur-Facilitator

A business-minded individual entering the education sector

  • No teaching background required — head office covers the content
  • Acts as business owner and facility manager, not the classroom teacher
  • Hires certified teachers or uses the Head Office Online Teaching Service
  • Motivated by the education sector's growth and social impact
  • Treats the franchise as a scalable investment business

FAQ

Common Questions

No. While a background in education or technology is helpful, it is not required. The Code College LMS provides all lesson content, and our teacher support programme equips your team with everything needed. Many successful franchisees are entrepreneurs who hire certified facilitators to deliver classes.
The joining fee covers your brand licence, exclusive territory, full access to all curriculum content on the LMS — including the school-aligned syllabus and all five interest-based tracks (Coding Fundamentals, App Development, Game Development, Robotics & Hardware including BBC micro:bit and Raspberry Pi, and Business) — initial onboarding training for you and your team, and head office setup and launch support. It does not cover premises costs, physical hardware kits for learners, or ongoing teacher training (available separately).
Yes — completely. Head office does not prescribe what you charge parents. You are free to price according to your local market. You pay Code College a 12% fee on your gross learner revenue each term (10% royalty + 2% marketing levy), and keep the remainder as your income.
We've got you covered. Our Head Office Online Teaching Service allows you to open and take on learners while your own teacher goes through certification. A Code College-certified instructor delivers live online lessons directly into your classroom — so no class is ever cancelled and no learner experience is disrupted.
Yes. The Coding for Kids model is designed for global scalability. The LMS is cloud-based and country-independent. International franchisees are welcome and receive the same full support as domestic franchisees. Fee arrangements and certification recognition for specific countries are handled individually.
You are free to offer clearly separate subjects like maths tutoring or other school subject tutoring (sciences, languages, etc.) that have no overlap with our curriculum. You may not independently develop or sell coding, programming, robotics, or any technology education courses without head office approval — these all fall within the Code College portfolio. We actively welcome product ideas from franchisees — any approved contribution becomes part of the shared portfolio and benefits the whole network.
