Grading System & Certifications
The Association of Coding and Robotics offers a comprehensive grading system for robotics, scratch and python. Our grading system is designed to help learners progress through the different levels of robotics, scratch and python learning and to recognise their achievements.
The ACR Grading System of Coding (Scratch and Python) is based on a series of standardized tests that test learners’ knowledge and skills. For example, each level of python focuses on different aspects, from basic programming concepts to advanced algorithms and data structures.
The ACR Grading System of Robotics are on-site hands-on projects, testing the learners’ construction skills, robot programming and robot movements etc.
Our test scores determines the learner’s level of proficiency. Once a learner has passed the test for a particular level, they will be awarded a certificate recognising their achievement.
