Mentors who ship code
Our instructors are working developers and engineers. They teach what they use on Monday morning.
Why CodeAugs
Why families stay with us for more than one term
There are plenty of places to learn to code. Here is precisely what is different about the way we teach, and how we measure it.
Measured progress
A five-level skill rubric per track. Parents see the exact level before and after each term.
A real finish line
Demo day at week twelve. Students present to a room, which is often harder than the code.
Safeguarding as standard
Vetted staff, two adults in every room, and moderated online channels with no private messaging.
No equipment barrier
Campus laptops are free to use. Robotics kits stay at the academy so nothing must be bought.
Room to go further
Competition coaching, an alumni channel and internship referrals for Prodigy-track students.
Honest comparison
CodeAugs versus a typical ICT class
| What matters | Typical ICT class | CodeAugs |
|---|---|---|
| Class size | 30-45 students, one teacher | Maximum 12, two mentors |
| Assessment | Written test on definitions | A working project you can open |
| Tools | Textbook diagrams, shared PC | VS Code, Git, Python, micro:bit |
| Parent feedback | End-of-term report card | Fortnightly progress note plus demo day |
| Pace | Fixed for the whole class | Placed by ability, extension briefs for fast finishers |
| After the course | Course ends | Alumni channel, competitions, internship referrals |
How a term runs
Twelve weeks with a clear finish line
Weeks 1-2 · Foundations
Core concepts and tooling set up on the student's own account.
