Everything you need to know about the RobocodeUK International Licensing Partnership.
What is included in the partnership fee?+
The annual partnership fee covers: access to the RobocodeUK curriculum and LMS platform, brand licensing, teacher training, quality assurance audits, and ongoing support. Per-student licenses, platform hosting, robotics kits, and BCS exam fees are charged separately.
What are the renewal rates?+
Renewal rates vary by tier: Starter: 70% (£17,500), Growth: 65% (£22,750), Professional: 60% (£30,000), Enterprise: 55% (£55,000) of the original partnership fee. Renewal requires maintaining 70% licence utilisation.
What are the minimum student licence requirements?+
Minimum licences per tier: Starter: 200, Growth: 400, Professional: 1,000, Enterprise: 3,000. Per-student licence rates decrease at higher tiers: £15 (Starter), £12 (Growth), £9 (Professional), £7 (Enterprise).
How many locations can I operate?+
Starter: up to 2, Growth: up to 5, Professional: up to 9, Enterprise: unlimited. Each location requires a platform hosting fee (£450/£425/£400/£375 per month depending on tier).
What territory exclusivity do I get?+
Starter: No exclusivity. Growth: Location-level exclusivity. Professional: District-level exclusivity. Enterprise: Full market-level exclusivity. Territory is protected for the duration of your contract.
What contract lengths apply?+
Starter: 1 year. Growth: 2 years. Professional: 3 years. Enterprise: 5 years. Longer contracts demonstrate commitment and unlock better rates and exclusivity.
What payment terms are available?+
Starter & Growth: 100% of the partnership fee due upon contract signing. Professional & Enterprise: 50% on signing, 50% within 90 days. Per-student licences, platform fees, and kit costs are invoiced quarterly.
What about BCS qualifications?+
BCS (British Computer Society) Level 1 and Level 2 qualifications are available from Growth tier and above. The exam fee is £100 per student. These are UK-accredited qualifications recognised globally — a major differentiator for your offering. Starter tier does not include BCS access.
How does teacher certification work?+
Teacher certification costs £3,000 per teacher. Professional tier includes 2 certifications and Enterprise includes 5. Additional certifications can be purchased. All teachers delivering the programme must be certified.
Can I deliver courses online?+
No. All RobocodeUK courses must be delivered in-person at registered locations. This is a quality requirement — our programmes require hands-on, practical delivery with real equipment. This is what makes the qualification meaningful.
Can I white-label the programme?+
No. The programme must be delivered under the RobocodeUK brand. The value of the programme is tied to the brand's reputation and BCS accreditation. White-labelling would undermine both.
How long does onboarding take?+
Typical onboarding takes 6-8 weeks from contract signing. This includes teacher certification, LMS setup, kit delivery, and quality assurance checks. We provide a dedicated onboarding manager throughout the process.
What courses are available?+
Currently 15+ courses across: Robotics (5 courses), Game Development (5), AI (2), Cyber Security (2), and 3D Printing (1). Each course is approximately 25 Guided Learning Hours. Course access varies by tier: Starter (2), Growth (4), Professional (7), Enterprise (all courses).
What about robotics kits?+
Proprietary RobocodeUK robotics kits must be purchased from us. Kit prices vary by tier: £90 (Starter), £80 (Growth), £75 (Professional), £70 (Enterprise). Kits are sold in multiples of 20. Year 2+ replacement cost is approximately 10% of original kit value.
What is the cancellation policy?+
A 5% cancellation fee applies after contract signing. No refunds are issued after payment has been processed. We encourage thorough due diligence before signing to ensure the partnership is right for both parties.
Can I upgrade my tier?+
Yes! Upgrade costs: Starter → Growth: £10,000, Growth → Professional: £15,000, Professional → Enterprise: £50,000. Upgrades can be done at any time during your contract.
