Courses and training
Coding courses and digital training, online and in Italy
I have been teaching programming for five years at Kodland, an international digital school, to young people from the youngest up to eighteen: from the first blocks to real code. At Kodland I also handle technical support. And I have been programming since I was fifteen. Below are the courses I run on my own account, online anywhere or in person in Italy.
The courses
Five courses, and a custom one if none of them is you
I do not sell courses off the shelf. You tell me who you are, what you can do now and where you want to get to, and I build the programme around that. These five are the starting points people ask for most.
Young people, from 8 to 18
We start with blocks and arrive at code: Scratch first, then Python, with games and small programs that genuinely work. The aim is not to turn them into programmers: it is to let them see that a computer can be told what to do, and that an error message is something you read rather than something to panic about.
Programming from scratch
Python as a first language, because it reads almost like English and it is genuinely useful at work. You finish with a program of your own that runs, not with a certificate: an automation, some data analysis, or a small system for whatever you do.
Digital literacy
For adults who use a computer because they have to: files and folders, email, documents, digital signatures and identity schemes, and how to spot a scam before clicking on it. At the pace of the person learning, without making anybody feel out of place, which in this course is the most important part of all.
AI agents and tools
How to use Claude, ChatGPT and agents in everyday work: writing, summarising, searching inside your own documents, automating a piece of a process. And above all understanding where they go wrong, which matters more than knowing how to use them.
Company training
Half a day or a series of sessions for your staff, on the tools you already have in house. On site or online, with the material left with you and somebody you can write to afterwards.
If none of the five fits, we build a course around you: it is the most common case with companies, where the programme depends on which tools you use and how much time you have.
Online or in person. Remotely I teach anywhere, with a video call and shared material. In person I am based in Abruzzo, in central Italy, and I travel for it: further afield a contribution towards the journey gets added, worked out by distance, agreed beforehand and never as a surprise.
Why me. I have taught for five years at a school that does nothing else, to students of every level, and meanwhile I keep writing software that goes into production: I am not teaching something I stopped doing. If you want to know how it has gone so far, I have written it up on the About me page.
Frequently Asked Questions
And if yours is not here, write to me: I answer, not a form.
From eight, with Scratch blocks. From twelve onwards we move to real code with Python. Over five years of teaching I have worked with students up to eighteen, and with adults of any age on the digital literacy course.
Both. Online anywhere, with a video call and shared material. In person I come to you from my base in Abruzzo, in central Italy; further afield a contribution towards the journey gets added, agreed before the quote.
It depends where you are starting from. An introductory course for young people sits well in eight or ten weekly sessions; company training on AI tools fits into half a day or three sessions. We set the calendar together around your timetable.
No. For the first months any computer from the last eight or ten years is fine, and for young people a laptop from home is fine too. If something needs installing we do it together in the first session, so nobody falls behind over a technical problem.
Yes, and it is the request growing fastest: how to use AI agents in daily work without hurting yourself, and how to automate a piece of a process. On site in Italy or online, and the material stays with the company.
It depends on the course, the number of sessions and how many of you there are: a one-to-one course and training for six employees are not the same price. The quote is free and I give it to you after a twenty-minute chat, not before.
