Our Work

Different skills, for different people, in different places.

What we do:

Since 2018 when the Institute of Coding was established, we have run a wide array of projects and campaigns. Use this page as an opportunity to learn about all of our current and completed projects.

Across our campaigns, the IoC & our partners have created more than 150 courses and we have engaged over 1 million diverse learners. We believe that everyone, at any stage of life, has the right to learn digital skills.

Creating opportunities to enable everyone to pursue a digital career, that’s what we do.
