The online training course designed to empower individuals with autism

Welcome to“It's the idea that to become a pro,

you should start by imitating the pros”

We will teach you how to create the apps you regularly use and love. Learn all the

skills required to become an app developer by building the world’s most popular apps.

This course has been tried and tested on complete beginners with a 93% success rate

in creating app developers. We have partnered with top Autism societies to adapt our

learning materials to suit those on the autism spectrum.

As well as technical support the National Autistic Society will set up an online support

desk to help with any non technical issues that may arise during the course.

Welcome toIt’s much more than just tech. This course will...

Introduce the tech industry. During the 6 - 12 month training course we will run online workshops

to help participants understand whether self-employment or employment at the end of the course

might suit their specific circumstances. We will also run Business and Tech matters online webinar

sessions to introduce the tech industry.

Form relationships. The LiveCode Community is warm and welcoming to newcomers. We will

create a special portal area where attendees can receive support and interact with others who are on

the same learning journey. All the LiveCode tech support staff are receiving training in understanding

autism and interacting with individuals on the autism spectrum, from one of our charity partners.
