Online training

To give you more information, tips, and ideas before you start volunteering, we’ve created a free online course for you called Prepare to Run a Code Club.

To take this course, you need to create an account on our courses platform. This account is separate from the Raspberry Pi Foundation account that you use to sign into the Code Club platform.
