Our take
Coding is increasingly becoming the workforce language of the future, leading to a steadily growing uptick in demand across the kids coding education subsector. Cypher Coders is one of the educational organisations taking advantage of this opportunity and it looks like weathering the educational storm of the past few years has only made it stronger.
Cypher Coders has been relatively quick to flesh out its remote offering over and above its physical one - although it does now offer limited in-person lessons. This is smart. The recent widespread pivot to remote learning normalised this kind of learner engagement and in fact grew consumer appetite for extra-curricular online tuition. Plus, it’s far simpler to scale.
The company has now shipped a recent subscription product that allows children as young as 6 in the US to start lessons. North America holds the leading market share for kids coding courses, with an increase in regulatory and governmental support that’s expected to help boost the sector’s anticipated growth over the next decade. The same applies in Europe, so Cypher Coders are making respectable strides in a lucrative market.
