Coding Intermediate level - Online Courses - Adult Learning

This online course is for adults who have some understanding of coding and want to build on their existing skills. It is a follow-on course from our Beginner Coding course, although you do not need to have attended that course if you already have a basic knowledge of coding concepts.

You will develop your coding skills through practical activities and learn how to create more advanced programs. The course focuses on improving your understanding of coding structures, problem-solving techniques, and logical thinking in a supportive learning environment.

Through guided exercises, you will explore topics such as variables, loops, functions, and debugging. You will also learn how to write more efficient code and apply coding concepts to real-world scenarios. The sessions are easy to follow, with plenty of opportunities to practise, experiment, and ask questions.

By the end of the course, you will feel more confident writing code independently and be ready to progress to more advanced coding projects or further study. 

Learning outcomes

• Write and modify more complex code using key programming concepts

• Use logical thinking and problem-solving skills to identify and fix errors

• Create programs that use variables, loops and functions effectively

Entry requirements 

You should have a basic understanding of coding concepts, such as creating simple programs and understanding how instructions are used in code. This course is suitable for learners who have completed a beginner coding course or have equivalent experience. Basic confidence using a computer is essential. 

What to bring 
A notebook and pen may be useful for taking notes. This is an online course, so you will need a laptop or PC with access to the internet and be able to use Teams.
