What you licence

Everything needed to open and teach

Delivered under the Robocode name at your registered locations. You are licensing a programme that runs every week in our own centres, not a set of slides.

Nineteen courses

Robotics, game development, AI, cyber security, 3D printing and mechanical engineering, and computer science. Over 475 guided learning hours, from first circuits to autonomous drones and neural networks. Plus a Younger Programme for ages six to nine.

BCS qualifications

BCS Level 1 Robotics Award and Level 2 Thinking as a Coder, available from the Growth tier upward. Examinations are sat in English.

The learning platform

Mission-based lessons, progress tracking, badges and ranks, teacher dashboards and reporting. Hosted and maintained by us, charged per location per month.

Real hardware

Raspberry Pi, ESP32, sensors, motors and the rest. Students build machines that work and take them home. Kits are bought from Robocode at your tier price.

Territory protection

From location level on Growth, to district level on Professional, to market exclusivity on Enterprise. Starter carries no exclusivity, which is why it is priced as an entry point.

Training and support

Teacher certification, onboarding, and quarterly business reviews on the upper tiers. Onboarding runs six to eight weeks from signing.

Licensing

What it costs

A tier is the number of courses you can deliver. Everything else, from licence price to exclusivity, follows from it. Every fee is published.

Running a pilot? A single course is available at £15,000 a year, up to three courses.

Gulf markets

GCC packages

Partners across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman take the same four tiers with Arabic localisation added: an Arabic interface, translated course materials matching your tier, and onboarding documentation in both languages.

Translation is a one-time setup fee at signing rather than a mark-up on the licence, so the underlying tier price is the same one every other market pays.

Setup is payable once, at contract signing. Annual maintenance begins in year two.

How it works

Signing to teaching, in six to eight weeks

Tell us about your market

Where you are, how many students you expect in year one, and when you want to open. We come back with a tailored proposal rather than a brochure.

Choose a tier

Course count, licence volume, locations and exclusivity. The calculator on this site gives you the year one figure in your own currency before we ever speak.

Contract and onboarding

Licence signed, platform provisioned, kits ordered, teachers certified. Six to eight weeks from signing to your first lesson.

Teach, and renew

Licences run for a contract year. Renewal is discounted against your original fee, provided you have used at least 70% of the licences you bought.

What we do not do

Worth knowing before you spend time on this, rather than after.

    Common questions

    Before you enquire

    What exactly is a licence?
    One licence is one student enrolled in one course for one contract year. Licences are bought annually in blocks of 50, expire at the end of each contract year, and are repurchased at renewal. Your tier sets both the minimum you buy and the price per licence.
    What does it cost in year one?
    At the minimum configuration: . That is the partnership fee, the minimum licence purchase and twelve months of platform for one location. Kits, examinations, extra locations and teacher certification sit on top. The calculator will price your actual configuration.
    Can we teach online?
    No. Every course is delivered in person at a registered location. The programme depends on students having hardware in front of them, and the qualifications depend on supervised delivery.
    Can we use our own brand?
    No. There is no white labelling. Courses are delivered under the Robocode name, which is what carries the accreditation your students are working towards.
    What happens at renewal?
    Renewal is charged at a discount to your original fee, from 70% at Starter down to 55% at Enterprise, provided you have used at least 70% of your licences. You can upgrade a tier at any point by paying the difference, which resets the contract clock. Downgrades happen at renewal.
    Are the qualifications available everywhere?
    Students anywhere in the world can earn BCS Level 1 and Level 2 through your centre, with no UK residency or travel required. Examinations are sat in English, which is worth planning for when you set entry requirements. BCS is available from the Growth tier upward.
    We only want one subject.
    Take the pay per course option: £15,000 per course per year, one to three courses, one location, no exclusivity. It is priced deliberately above the tier rate, so if you want more than one course a fixed tier will be cheaper. It exists for pilots and single-subject specialists.
    We would rather run full centres than licence courses.
    That is international franchising, which is a different arrangement with terms set per market. Read about franchising, or tell us in your enquiry and we will discuss both.
