Grand Training

Fun and excellent computer education for ages 5-17. Small groups of 4-6 children. For full details call or view grandtraining.co.nz.

After School and Saturday:
Our term time classes are smaller, and focused to what you want to learn. Let us know which of our programmes interest you, and we’ll do a course on it.

The programmes which lend themselves best to the term time structure are:
Scratch, Python, Web Design, Discovery Computing, Creating 2D and 3D games (using Unity),
That being said, if there is another course that appeals and you want to do during the term, contact us and we will see what we can do.

Mathematics tuition also available. Mathematics underpins pretty much every aspect of computing. As such, a working understanding of mathematics will greatly aid you in understanding computers. This course aims to get you that understanding. We can also help with preparation for NCEA.

School Holidays:
- Minecraft Exploration
Explore the world of Minecraft! In this freeform course, students pick their own goals and work towards them together. At the start of the week, a modpack is chosen by the group and the students explore it in their own time. This could involve transforming themselves into monsters, destroying pillager outposts and raids, heading to the moon and beyond - the possibilities are endless

- Minecraft Progression
This highly structured course is aimed to be a bridge between Minecraft Exploration and our programming courses. Students will start by creating a fairly standard Minecraft base, then they will utilise redstone and some of the tools provided by mods in order to automate it. Along the way, students will develop their programming skills, as well as learning a host of other useful abilities (including efficiency analysis). By the end of the course, the students will be well prepared to take the leap and do one of our Python courses.
