Qualifications
What your students
can earn
Robocode is an accredited centre for BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT. A student learning through your centre sits the same qualification, marked to the same standard, and it says the same thing on the certificate. No UK residency, no travel.
What students can earn
| Qualification | Earned after |
|---|---|
| BCS Level 1 Robotics Award | Robotics Course 2 |
| BCS Level 2 Thinking as a Coder | Robotics or Game Dev Course 4 |
Examinations cost £100 per student and are available from the Growth tier upward. The Starter tier does not include BCS access, which is the main reason most partners begin at Growth.
Why it matters commercially
A coding club competes on price and novelty, and both run out. A qualification changes what the parent is buying. It gives them a reason to keep paying past the point where the novelty has gone, and it gives you something no local competitor can quickly reproduce, because accreditation is slow to obtain and is held by the awarding body rather than by us.
It is also why the licence prohibits white labelling. The accreditation attaches to the Robocode programme. Deliver it under another name and the certificate at the end stops meaning anything.
