We get asked this a lot. In reality every child is unique, so our generic recommendation is for 8-14 years of age. This is based on the games we use to teach with, so if your child is already playing Minecraft or Roblox that is a good indicator they are ready. Our coding courses are designed for complete beginners, but programming requires certain logical reasoning skills that develop with age. With parental participation and a motivated child, you can certainly use Code Kingdoms from a younger age than we recommend. Do remember we have a refund policy that you can use if things are not a fit.

We teach the Java and Lua programming languages through video tutorials showing young people how to program mods for Minecraft and games for Roblox.

All videos are interactive, working alongside our custom web-based code editor. This is our internationally recognised tool for getting kids to make the jump from drag-and-drop coding to typing text code.

There are no live instructors or set class times, allowing children to learn at their own schedule and pace.

The main Code Kingdom's team are based in central London but our products can be used anywhere in the world, with our support team spanning several time zones. We are currently used in over 80 countries.

We have over 120 hours of content across our Minecraft and Roblox course offerings, covering a wide range of coding concepts and difficulty levels.

This depends on whether you purchase our Minecraft or Roblox packages.

You will need Minecraft Java edition to test the mods you code with Code Kingdoms. You can purchase Minecraft from their official website. We support the main Java version of Minecraft, available on PC & Mac.

Roblox and its coding tool, Roblox Studio are completely free to download. There are no hidden charges for using these products. Roblox offers a paid premium service, but you won't need this for learning to code.

Absolutely, we have a team of teachers and Computer Scientists on our customer support team, ready to help if your child has any questions or requires assistance. To get in touch with the team, please use the chat button in the bottom right hand corner or email support@codekingdoms.com

Yes! If you purchase any of our Minecraft plans, we provide you with a free server and we pay for the third party hosting. There are no additional charges to pay (but you will need to purchase Minecraft separately).

I'm afraid Code Kingdoms isn't supported on an iPad/ mobile device. In fact you couldn't code Java or Lua via a touch interface, you'll need a keyboard in order to correctly learn programming.

Additionally Minecraft and Roblox require a Mac/ Windows computer in order to run their code.

We offer a 30 day refund policy for all our annual and lifetime plans, starting from the date you (or whoever you gift too) starts using Code Kingdoms. This gives you a chance to try out our product with a safety net given that these accounts cost a fair bit more upfront than our monthly plans.

I'm afraid we don't offer this policy on our monthly subscriptions.

A Family plan costs 50% more than an Individual plan, and includes 5 users instead of 1, perfect for households with more than one young coder. Each user has their own unique login and coding progression. Additionally for our Minecraft product each user is provided with their own private Minecraft server.

You are welcome to gift spare account slots to friends outside of your household.

Getting our Roblox and Minecraft courses together in a bundle costs 50% more than getting one on its own, for any plan. You essentially are receiving a discount for purchasing access to both products. You can upgrade at any time to our bundle package.

Yes! We don't limit you based on household or device, so you can login from anywhere and as often as you like. If you have a family plan you can use these across multiple familes. You are more than welcome to send your spare slots as gifts.

Yes you can. To do this you'll need to login as your billing user and then visit the upgrade section on your account page. This works for any purchase.

If you are upgrading from a single account type (Minecraft or Roblox) to our bundle and have purchased an annual subscription or lifetime membership, your previous purchase will be discounted from the upgrade price.

Monthly subscriptions won't be discounted against any upgrade. So if you're thinking about signing up for one month before deciding on an annual or lifetime plan, you may want to consider our 30-day refund policy which comes with this option.

Sending a gift is a process you complete after you've completed your purchase.

We recommend using your own email address in the payment form for this reason. You'll have options to send a gift link to another email address or download a printable PDF you can send as a physical gift with an unique redeem code. The person who receives the gift then sets up their own account login.
