Overview

Coding, or computer programming, is the process of creating instructions that tell a computer how to perform specific tasks. With the rise of digital technology, coding has become an essential skill in today’s workforce. This course is designed to introduce beginners to the world of coding, using Scratch—a simple, visual programming language designed for people of all ages. Scratch uses a block-based approach to programming, making it easy to understand key coding concepts without needing to worry about complex syntax.

In this course, you will start by learning the basics of Scratch and gradually progress to more advanced activities. By the end of the course, you will have built a strong foundation in coding, gaining skills that can be applied to more complex programming languages like Python, Java, or C++. Whether you want to create interactive games, design animations, or start learning coding to pursue a career in tech, this course will provide the fundamental skills you need to get started in the world of computer programming.

Learning Outcomes
  • Understand the basics of coding using Scratch.

  • Develop problem-solving skills and logical thinking through coding activities.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
