​​This course teaches coding literacy and fundamental coding skills through an online platform provided by a commercial partner. Coding becomes an ever more important skill in society. Whilst it is not necessary for everyone to be an expert coder, a certain coding literacy is advantageous and will at some point become a standard part of any professional skillset. Having some hands-on experience in the actual processes of creating computer code provides an invaluable sense of control. All module content is designed in advance in vertical scroll elements, videos, online coding challenges and runs fully automated at the pace determined by the student.
