Guide for parents and students
How to choose a coding class: 8 questions to ask any provider
A short checklist that works for any coding class, with our own honest answers for comparison.
The short answer
Ask any provider eight things: live or recorded, batch size, language, who reviews the code, what gets built, the full cost, child safety, and whether you can try a class first.
If a provider cannot answer these clearly, keep looking. Our own answers are listed next to each question.

The 8 questions, and our answers
Is it live, recorded or a mix?
Why it matters: Live classes let you ask questions and get unstuck. Recordings are useful for revision.
At CodeBakerz: Live online classes, with every class also recorded for the batch.
How many students are in a batch?
Why it matters: Large batches mean nobody looks at your code.
At CodeBakerz: At most 30 students.
In which language is it taught?
Why it matters: A student learns best in a language they think in.
At CodeBakerz: Hinglish (Hindi and English), with code and notes in English.
Who reviews the student's code, and how?
Why it matters: Feedback on real code is where most learning happens.
At CodeBakerz: A mentor gives written feedback on a weekly assignment and reviews each monthly project.
What will the student actually build?
Why it matters: Projects show what was learned, and can be shown to others.
At CodeBakerz: A project every month, published on the student's GitHub.
What is the total cost, including taxes and cancellation?
Why it matters: Ask for the full price and how to stop paying.
At CodeBakerz: A monthly fee inclusive of applicable taxes, no registration fee, cancel anytime, 7-day money-back on the first payment.
How is a child's safety handled?
Why it matters: Look for parental consent, parent access and privacy rules.
At CodeBakerz: Parent or guardian consent for under-18s, parents can sit in, no public student profiles. See our child safety policy.
Can we try a class first?
Why it matters: A real trial class shows the teaching style before you pay.
At CodeBakerz: Yes, a free live demo class.

Common questions
Is a recorded course enough for a beginner?
Many beginners get stuck without someone to ask. Recorded courses suit self-starters; live classes with feedback suit most school students.
At what age can a child start coding?
Many children start from about class 6 with simple projects. It depends on comfort with a keyboard and basic maths, which is why a trial class helps.
Should a beginner learn Python or JavaScript first?
Python is a gentle first language for logic. Web pages (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) are motivating because you see results in the browser. We teach both in the Starter program.
Do coding classes guarantee a job?
No honest provider can guarantee a job. Look for real skills, reviewed projects and clear promises instead.
What equipment is needed?
A laptop or desktop with a stable internet connection. A phone or tablet is not enough for coding.
