Questions about this course
Is this a coding course?
No — this course is entirely about computer literacy: mouse, keyboard, typing, navigation and online safety. Coding starts in Junior Computer Academy.
My child already uses a tablet — do they still need this?
Tablet use doesn't transfer directly to mouse-and-keyboard control, which is what this course (and every course after it) assumes.
