Premises and equipment for the opening of a programming school

Every year information technology education becomes more and more popular among students and their parents. According to various surveys, 86% of teenagers think that the profession of a developer is cool, and 74% of them believe that the ability to program is a guarantee of a successful life.

Opening your own programming school can be a lucrative business, but before you start, you need to decide on the premises and equipment. If you want to open a programming school for kids with a Coddy franchise, we can help you understand the space and equipment requirements.

Requirements for the premises for a programming school for children

The premises for the educational center for children's programming must be comfortable and safe for children. Each room must meet certain standards and norms set by the state authorities of one country or another. To open a program school, you need to consider the following requirements for the premises:

The area of the room is at least 50 square meters.
The room must have at least 10-12 workstations.
A ceiling height of at least 2.7 meters.
Absence of toxic substances, as well as sources of radiation that can harm the health of children.
Availability of natural and artificial light.
Presence of air conditioning and ventilation systems.
A stable internet connection and Wi-Fi to ensure uninterrupted work for students and teachers.
A projector or large monitor can be used to show material, and markers/chalkboard or flipchart are needed for group work.
It is also important to pay attention to the location of the room. It should be no more than a 10-minute walk from a public transportation stop. This makes it easier for students and teachers to get to the classroom, shortens communication time, and increases efficiency.

In addition, the room should have a separate entrance and areas for teaching, recreation and meals for children.

How to choose a room for a children's programming school

When choosing a space for a children's center, you need to consider location, transportation, and proximity to schools and daycare centers. It is also important to consider the cost of rent, which may depend on the location and area of the space.

It is important to know that it is not necessary to take possession of the premises immediately. This will greatly simplify the process of opening your own school.

There are many options you can consider as a starting point for your business. One of these options is the traditional rental space, which allows you to make minor cosmetic repairs yourself and create a space that is best suited for teaching. Beyond that, however, there are a number of other options you can consider.

Rent a room. This may be an office space that can be divided into several classrooms or zones suitable for learning, for example. It is important to choose a place that is easily accessible and convenient for the children and their parents.
Schools and other educational institutions. These may be schools, colleges or universities that can rent out their classrooms on their own time. This can be a convenient option for those who are just starting their business and cannot afford to rent their own space.
You can also take advantage of renting by the hour to private schools, where you benefit from attracting new customers, which in turn improves their positioning.
Co-working spaces and business incubators. Co-working spaces offer shared workspaces that can be used to educate children. Business incubators, on the other hand, offer a broader range of services, including business consulting, marketing support, and access to infrastructure.
Hourly rentals in existing children's centers, which are typically underutilized on weekends and evenings.

Review the different options and choose the one that is most convenient for you. Decide on a budget and other factors that are important to you and choose the right option. This way you can start classes in a comfortable environment and solve the problem of space in the future.

Equipment for a programming school

To teach children programming, it is necessary to equip the school with the necessary equipment. At the first stage of school development, you can limit yourself to minimal equipment:

Computers and laptops with installed software for teaching programming. The recommended number of computers per group is up to 10. If you are considering premises without equipment, you can consider renting or buying used computers on specialized websites such as Avito. This can significantly reduce your initial investment.
Projectors and screens for lectures and presentations.
Flipchart.

We believe that quality instruction and student comfort is a priority for a programming school.

Therefore, we strongly recommend that you take care of the equipment in advance and choose a suitable room to ensure effective learning.

School equipment

An important part of a successful programming school is the equipment of the premises, which should meet modern requirements and technologies. Our franchisee partners receive detailed advice on the design of the space and the necessary equipment.

We recommend installing furniture specifically designed for instructional programs, such as comfortable tables, chairs, and cabinets. It is also important to provide storage space for equipment and cables to connect computers.

At Coddy, we are constantly updating software and keeping an eye on technical equipment so that our students get the most out of their programming classes. We recommend that you use the software and equipment we provide, as this ensures the best quality learning experience.

In summary, opening a programming school can be a profitable and promising business, but it is necessary to choose the right premises and equipment. We recommend our franchise partners to pay special attention to this point to ensure maximum comfort and safety for children, as well as the best quality of education.
