The short answer
Phil’s Cohort is an online tech school for children aged 10 to 16. An AI tutor teaches each lesson, a real mentor follows progress, and every child practises in a live Linux lab in the browser. Students start with no experience, build a Linux foundation in Level 1, then work toward industry certifications such as CompTIA Security+ and AWS Cloud Practitioner.
How it works
How does Phil’s Cohort teach a child from zero?
Four steps, repeated until each idea is mastered. Watch the tree grow as you scroll.
1Learn
The AI tutor teaches one idea at a time.
Short explanations, then a question. If your child is stuck, the tutor tries a different angle instead of repeating itself.
2Practise
A real Linux computer, in the browser.
Your child types real commands in a lab made just for them. Nothing to install, and nothing they do can break a real computer.
3Prove
Mastery, not seat time.
A lesson counts when the idea is mastered. After three misses on one idea, a human mentor is alerted and steps in.
4Grow
From foundation to certification.
Every child starts at Level 1 and grows from there, level by level, toward the skills and certifications that matter.
The programme
What does my child learn?
Every child starts at Level 1 and grows level by level. They move on when they have mastered a topic, not when a term ends.
Python Logic
Thinking in steps: variables, decisions, loops, functions and real programs.
Networks & Git
How machines talk to each other, and how real work is shared and versioned.
Where does it lead?
After the foundation, students go deeper in one direction, chosen later with a mentor.
Cybersecurity & Defence
- 1. Network Security · Firewalls, ports, traffic and trust
- 2. Threat Analysis · Reading logs, spotting the intruder
- 3. Security+ Preparation · The exam, and the judgement behind it
Certification goal: CompTIA Security+
DevOps & Cloud
- 1. Cloud Basics · Someone else’s computer, properly understood
- 2. DevOps & CI/CD · Automating the path from code to running
- 3. AWS Cloud Practitioner · The certification, and the fluency for it
Certification goal: AWS Cloud Practitioner
Data & AI
- 1. SQL & Modelling · Asking data precise questions
- 2. Data Pipelines · Moving and cleaning at scale
- 3. Data & AI Integration · Putting models to work
Certification goal: Vendor data/AI associate
A lesson, live
What is a lesson actually like?
Type a real command, or tap a key. This is how your child’s lab works.Your child reads a short idea, answers a question, then proves it in the lab by typing a real command. Try one here.
1. The tutor explains
One idea at a time, with a question after it. If your child is stuck, the tutor tries a new angle.
2. The lab responds
Commands run on a real Linux machine made for your child. It is disposable, so nothing they do can break a real computer.
3. A mentor steps in
After three misses on one idea, the mentor is alerted and plans a short one to one.

Lesson 2 · What is an operating system? Task: ask the machine how long it has been running. Type uptime.

Safety and trust
Is it safe for my child?
Swipe each card away.Guardians stay in charge. Here is how we protect children.
Guardian consent comes first
We collect nothing about a child until a parent or guardian agrees, in line with data protection law.
Only mentors and tutors see progress
Other students cannot see your child’s work. Demos and posts never show real student names or faces.
The lab is a sandbox
Each lab is separate and disposable. Mistakes are part of learning and cost nothing.
Export or delete any time
Ask and we export or delete your child’s data. Access can pause if a payment is missed, and progress is always kept.

From the founder
“Children around me wanted skills that still matter in the AI revolution, so I built a cohort and used AI to help teach them. My goal is simple. By the time your child finishes secondary school, they can hold an industry certification, or know enough to start a tech career in a skill that is still relevant.”Kehinde Phillip Oyekunle
