Prerequisites
What your child needs
No previous programming experience is required.
This course is suitable for children and teens aged 8 to 18.
Learners only need basic computer skills, such as using a keyboard and mouse.
A computer with internet access is required.
This is a suitable starting point for children who are new to coding.
Start simple. Build something real.
Step 1
Live instructor-led classes
Each topic is taught live by a mentor, with guided coding, questions, demonstrations and practical examples.
Step 2
EngagePro practice system
Students revise with topic notes and complete bite-sized assignments after each class to reinforce learning.
Step 3
Coding challenge
After the course, learners apply what they studied by solving 20 unique coding requirements.
Curriculum
What they learn.
01
Introduction to Coding and Programming
How human thinking becomes computer action the ideas that make every program possible

Frequently asked questions
1
Who is this course designed for?
Python for Kids Foundation is designed for children aged 8 to 18 who are completely new to programming. There are no entry requirements if your child is curious about how technology works, this is the right starting point.
2
My child has never coded before. Will they struggle?
Not at all. The course begins at absolute zero print statements, variables, and simple programs and builds gradually. Each concept is introduced clearly and followed immediately by hands-on practice so your child applies what they learn before moving on. No prior knowledge is expected.
3
What will my child actually learn from this course?
Over 10 modules, your child will learn to write real Python programs using variables, loops, conditions, functions, and data structures. By the end they will be able to build text-based games, interactive stories, and small applications and debug their own code with confidence.
4
How are the sessions conducted?
All sessions are live and instructor-led online. They run for one hour per session over eight weeks with 15 sessions in total. Your child attends in a small, safe group of similarly-aged learners, with a qualified mentor guiding every step.
5
What kind of support will my child receive during the course?
Each session includes guided instruction and hands-on practice. Between sessions, your child receives an EngagePro reference guide and bite-sized coding tasks reviewed by Ravi Kumar, who provides written feedback within 48 hours. Parents can also contact the ITLearnner team directly with any questions.
6
What equipment does my child need?
A laptop or desktop with internet access and the ability to install Python is all they need. We guide your child through setup in the first session there is nothing complicated for parents to prepare in advance.
7
How do you keep children engaged during the sessions?
Every session is built around a mini-project or creative challenge a quiz, a game, a program that talks back. Instead of lengthy explanations, your child writes code, sees results immediately, and builds something they are proud of in every session. This keeps them focused and motivated throughout the course.
8
What happens if my child misses a session?
We offer flexible rescheduling for missed sessions. If your child cannot attend, we will arrange an alternative time so they do not fall behind or miss any part of the curriculum.
9
Will my child receive a certificate?
Yes. On completing the course, your child receives the ITLearnner Python Foundation Certificate, which can be shared with schools, recorded in academic portfolios, or used as evidence of a practical digital skill.
10
How is this different from coding apps or self-paced online courses?
This is mentor-led learning, not a gamified app. Your child does not just click through instructions they write real code, ask real questions, and receive personalised feedback from a qualified instructor. The understanding they build is genuine and transferable, not just task completion.
