The four types

Your child is one of four.

Every child solves problems differently. The assessment scores how yours thinks across two dimensions — creative and technical — and names the type that fits.

The VisionaryBig ideas first, detail later
The CreatorMakes it beautiful, then makes it work
The BuilderTakes it apart to understand it
The ExplorerTries everything, finds the shortcut

How it works

Three steps. Under two minutes.

1

Answer 13 questions

How your child plays, learns and solves problems. No right answers — 10 to 15 seconds each.

2

We score their thinking

Your answers map onto two dimensions, creative and technical, to find the type that fits.

3

Get their path

Their full personality, what it means, and a recommendation for building on it.

Nearly 2,000 certificates issued to our students this year alone. It sits on their record for life.

Where it leads

A qualification, not a hobby class.

Every course ends with an NCFE-accredited certificate — awarded on stage, in front of their family.

What parents say

5 stars on Trustpilot.

"Two years I've been looking for the right coding class. The assessment took two minutes and told me more about my daughter than any school report has."

"My son hated the idea of coding until we found the right fit. The type they gave him was spot on. He hasn't stopped since."
J
James R.Parent of a 12-year-old, Manchester

Questions

Before you start

Under two minutes. Thirteen questions — ten about your child, three short routing questions at the end. Around 10 to 15 seconds each.

Yes. No payment details, no sign-up to start. The result and the recommendation are free. Eligible families in the UK, EU and North America also get a free trial lesson. We never share your details with anybody else.

None. The type is based on how they think, not what they already know — it works the same for a complete beginner as for a child already building things.

You get the result instantly: your child's type, a description written for it, and a recommended next step. From there you can book a free trial or simply keep the result. Nothing is automatic.

Yes. Families in the EU and North America are eligible for free trial lessons too. Anywhere else, you'll be pointed to our self-guided courses, available worldwide from £10 a month.

No. You'll get a recommendation and an easy way to act on it if you want to. No hard sell, no obligation, and a real person replies if you have questions.
