About CodeBakerz
What is CodeBakerz?
CodeBakerz is a coding-mentorship platform for students in India. You learn in live group batches with a real mentor, build one project every month, and learn how software is actually built at companies — Git, tickets, standups, code review, deadlines and documentation.
Who runs CodeBakerz?
CodeBakerz is run by Code Bakerz Infotech LLP. It started as a small web studio run by developers, and that studio (CodeBakerz Studio) still builds websites and apps for clients. The founder and lead mentor is Abhishek Sharma, a full-stack developer.
Who can join?
Anyone in India who wants a career in coding: school students from class 6 onwards, class 11–12 students, college students of any stream, graduates and job seekers. There are three programs — Starter, Builder and Career — so everyone starts at the right level.
In which language are classes taught?
Classes are taught in Hinglish — a natural mix of Hindi and English, the way most of us actually talk. Code, notes and technical words stay in English, so you also get comfortable with the English used at work.
Do you guarantee a job or placement?
No. Nobody honest can guarantee a job. What we promise is real skills, reviewed projects, industry habits and — in the Career program — serious interview preparation. Getting a job depends on your effort and the job market.
Is CodeBakerz a school, coaching centre or university?
None of these. We are an online mentorship program that teaches practical coding skills alongside school or college. Our level certificate shows what you built with us; it is not a government-recognised degree or diploma.
Programs
Which program should I choose?
Starter is for class 6–10 students and complete beginners. Builder is for class 11–12, college students and adult beginners who want to build full-stack apps. Career is for final-year students, graduates and job seekers who can already code. If you are unsure, book a free demo class and the mentor will suggest a level.
Is class 6 or 7 too early to start coding?
No. Starter begins from zero: how a computer works, then Python through small games. A class 6 or 7 student who is comfortable with a keyboard and basic maths can follow it. Classes are small, in Hinglish, and parents are welcome to sit in. If the pace doesn't suit your child, the first payment has a 7-day money-back.
How long is each program?
Each program runs for 6 months. Every month has its own topics and one project, and the last month ends with a capstone project. You can see the full month-by-month syllabus on each program page.
I have never coded before. Can I still join?
Yes. Starter begins from how a computer works, before any code. Older beginners (class 11 onwards, college or working) can join Builder, which starts with programming fundamentals.
What will I actually build?
One project every month — for example Python games and a personal website in Starter, a React + Django app in Builder, and real Studio client features in Career. Every project goes on your GitHub so you can show it to anyone.
Can I move from one program to the next?
Yes. The programs are designed as levels. Many students finish Starter and continue with Builder, or finish Builder and continue with Career.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. After you complete your capstone project, you get a CodeBakerz level certificate for that program. It records the work you did; the projects on your GitHub are what really prove your skills.
Classes & schedule
How are classes conducted?
All classes are live and online on Google Meet. Each batch has at most 30 students and one mentor. You can ask questions, share your screen and code along during the class.
How many classes are there each week?
Two live classes a week (90 minutes each) plus one weekly doubt and lab session. You also get one assignment each week, with written feedback from the mentor.
What are the timings?
School batches run on weekends plus one weekday evening, so they never clash with school. College and working batches run on weekday evenings. The exact days and times are shown for each batch before you pay.
What if I miss a class?
Every class is recorded and the recording is available to your batch only. Watch it before the next class and bring your doubts to the weekly lab session. Attendance is shown in your monthly progress report.
How much time do I need each week?
Plan for about 5–6 hours a week in Starter and about 6–8 hours in Builder and Career. That includes the live classes, the lab session and your assignment.
What is the community group?
Each batch has its own group in the CodeBakerz WhatsApp Community, with the mentor in it, plus an all-students group for events and announcements. It is where you ask doubts between classes, share progress and help each other.
Payments & refunds
How much does it cost?
Starter is ₹1,500 a month, Builder is ₹1,800 a month and Career is ₹2,000 a month. Prices are inclusive of any applicable taxes. There is no registration fee.
How do I pay?
Payments are handled securely by Razorpay. You can set up monthly auto-pay with UPI Autopay or a card, or prepay for a quarter. We never see or store your card or UPI details.
Is there a discount for paying in advance?
Yes. If you prepay for a quarter (3 months), you get 10% off. For example, Starter costs ₹4,050 per quarter instead of ₹4,500.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Monthly plans can be cancelled anytime. Your access continues until the end of the month you have already paid for, and you are not charged again.
What is the 7-day money-back promise?
If you are not happy, ask for a refund within 7 days of your first payment for a new enrolment and you get your money back in full. Refunds go back to the original payment method within 5–7 working days. After 7 days there are no partial refunds, but you can cancel anytime.
What is the founding offer?
The first 50 students who join CodeBakerz keep their joining price for 12 months, even if our prices go up during that time.
Parents & safety
My child is under 18. What do you need from me?
At signup we need a parent or guardian's name, phone number and consent, as required by India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. The parent or guardian is the payer and receives the monthly progress reports.
Will I know how my child is doing?
Yes. Parents of under-18 students get a monthly progress report with attendance, assignments and mentor remarks. You can also contact the mentor through us anytime.
Can parents sit in on a class?
Yes. Parents are welcome to sit in on a live class. Just let us know in advance so the mentor can expect you.
Is my child's information shared publicly?
No. There are no public student profiles. Class recordings are visible only to students of the same batch. Student projects are shown publicly only with permission (and a parent's permission for under-18s).
How do you keep students safe online?
Classes happen in batch groups, never in private one-to-one chats between mentors and minors. Everyone follows our code of conduct, parents can sit in, and any concern can be reported to us directly. Read our child safety policy for details.
Technical requirements
What device do I need?
A laptop or desktop computer (Windows, Mac or Linux). A phone or tablet is not enough for coding. For Builder and Career, 8 GB RAM or more is recommended.
What internet speed do I need?
A stable connection that can handle a video call is enough. If your connection drops, you can always catch up with the class recording.
Do I need to buy any software?
No. Everything we use is free: VS Code, Python, Node.js, Git, GitHub, a web browser and free tiers of cloud tools for deployment. The mentor helps you set everything up at the start.
Do I need a Google account?
Classes run on Google Meet, and a free Google account is the easiest way to join. You will also create a free GitHub account — the mentor walks you through it in class.
Didn't find your answer?
Ask us directly, or bring your question to a free demo class. Parents can also read the parents' guide.
