❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is it free? +
Yes. Python Coach is 100% free for all schools during our Public Beta. No credit card, no commitment, no hidden costs. Help us shape the platform by sending feedback through the menu.
What happens to my data? +
Python Coach has two modes. In local mode, students code freely with no accounts — progress stays in their browser and never leaves their device. In class mode, students join via a secure Teacher Join Code, which creates a lightweight account that syncs their progress to the cloud so you can track it from your dashboard. We never sell data, and student records remain accessible even if a class is archived.

  • OCR J277 - Programming fundamentals (Section 2.2)
