Empowering the Next Generation Through Technology Education

As a leading independent supplier of computing education to primary schools throughout the UK, Jam Coding delivers engaging, curriculum-focused coding and technology workshops for young children.

Now, we’re entering an exciting new phase of growth, opening the door for ambitious individuals to become part of our next chapter.

Jam Coding is a proven, established model built around extraordinary demand, producing six‑figure income with above average market‑leading net margins.

Jam Coding Brings Digital Education to Cardiff Schools

March 04, 2026

We’re proud to announce the launch of Jam Coding Cardiff, led by new Area Director Mohammed Afzal.

The launch brings high quality computing education to children and schools across Cardiff. Jam Coding Cardiff will support young people in developing essential computing and life skills that will benefit them throughout their education and beyond.

Meet Mohammed

Mohammed is a trained electronics and software engineer with over 15 years of industry experience. He has worked across multiple blue chip companies and contributed to the design and development of products sold in their millions worldwide.

Raised in a family that ran small local businesses, Mohammed developed a strong understanding of entrepreneurship, community and the importance of creating opportunities locally. Giving back to his community has always been a key motivation.

“I wanted to use my skills to make a real difference locally,” Mohammed explains.

“I initially planned to set something up independently to teach people who had a passion for technology, but having worked in the industry for many years I could clearly see the scale of the digital skills gap, particularly across South Wales. I realised that working alone would limit the impact I could make.”

Jam Coding offered him the right platform, one he felt confident would deliver.

“Jam Coding’s global reach and strong infrastructure give me the platform and resources to deliver digital life skills at scale,” Mohammed continues. “Expansion across Wales is a longer term ambition, and I’m confident that Jam Coding gives me the right foundation to achieve it.”

Why Jam Coding

Jam Coding stood out due to its comprehensive approach to computing education and the strong support it provides to both learners and teachers.

“Jam Coding offered exactly what I was looking for,” Mohammed says. “It provides high quality programmes, strong support structures and a clear educational vision. Most importantly, it allows us to inspire children to pursue digital careers and help close the skills gap by making digital learning accessible from an early age.”

Roger Grogan, CEO of Jam Coding, welcomed Mohammed to the organisation.

“We are delighted to welcome Mohammed to the Jam Coding family,” said Roger. “His depth of industry experience, commitment to community impact and passion for education make him an ideal leader for Cardiff and the wider region. We are excited to see Jam Coding grow in Wales under his leadership.”

Teaching the Future in Cardiff Schools

Since 2014, Jam Coding has been delivering life skills to the next generation of digital citizens. In 2025, Jam Coding was named Learning Provider of the Year at The Learning Awards for its innovative computing curriculum.

Jam Coding Cardiff will work closely with schools across the city, delivering curriculum support, after school coding clubs, enrichment sessions, e-safety and digital citizenship education, holiday clubs and other flexible staffing solutions.

For Mohammed, seeing children engage with technology in a positive way is key.

“Teaching children how to use technology to make the world a better place is incredibly important to me,” he says. “Technology should be fun and creative, but also safe and responsible.”

Jam Coding Testimonials

Becoming a Jam Coding franchisee has given me the opportunity to use my technical background to make a real difference in my local community. After many years in the technology industry, I could clearly see the growing digital skills gap, and I wanted to be part of a solution that had genuine scale and impact. Jam Coding stood out because of its strong infrastructure, high quality programmes, and clear educational vision. It provides the platform and support needed to deliver digital life skills in a way that is accessible, engaging, and meaningful for children and schools. What I value most is that Jam Coding isn’t just about teaching technology — it’s about helping young people develop creativity, problem solving and responsible digital habits that will benefit them for life. I’m proud to be bringing Jam Coding to Cardiff and excited to be part of its future growth.

Mohammad, Jam Coding Franchisee

Becoming a Jam Coding franchisee was driven by both my experience as a parent and my desire to build something meaningful in my local community. When I started looking for opportunities to challenge and support my own child’s love of problem solving, I was surprised to find there was nothing like Jam Coding available locally. What really drew me to Jam Coding was the passion and purpose that runs through the entire organisation. It’s clear that Jam Coding genuinely cares about children, education and long term impact. The programmes go far beyond coding, helping children develop confidence, creativity, teamwork and resilience. Bringing Jam Coding to Shropshire is incredibly exciting. It’s a chance to equip children with essential digital and life skills that will benefit them whatever path they choose, while building a business that truly makes a difference.

Joe, Jam Coding Franchisee

Renewing our Jam Coding franchise was an incredibly easy decision. Over the past five years, we’ve seen first hand how strong and respected the Jam Coding brand has become, and how that growth directly supports us as franchisees. Jam Coding is about so much more than coding. It’s about building a community, empowering children, and giving families access to high quality, future focused education. The continued investment in curriculum, new sessions, and infrastructure has made a real difference to our business and to the children we work with. We’ve always felt genuinely supported by the Jam Coding team, which allows us to focus on what matters most — inspiring young minds and growing a sustainable, rewarding business. We’re proud of what we’ve built and excited to continue our journey with Jam Coding.

Rosanna, Jam Coding Franchisee

I became a Jam Coding franchise owner for very personal reasons. As an educator and a parent to a neurodivergent child, I’d seen how difficult it can be to find clubs that truly work for all children. Jam Coding immediately stood out as something different — inclusive, engaging, and focused on building real confidence and life skills.What I love most is how naturally children connect with the sessions. Jam Coding meets them where they are, using familiar digital environments to develop problem solving, creativity, and independence in a calm, supportive way. I’ve seen first hand how powerful that can be, not just for my own child, but for so many others in the community. From starting hands on to building a growing team, Jam Coding has allowed me to develop a business with genuine purpose. It’s flexible, supportive, and deeply rewarding — a chance to make a real difference while building something sustainable for the future.”

Matt, Jam Coding Franchisee

Running my Jam Coding franchise has been an incredibly positive experience. In just nine months, I’ve been able to build strong relationships with schools, grow a fantastic team, and expand quickly in a way that feels both sustainable and exciting. Seeing kids genuinely engaged and excited about coding every week is hugely rewarding. What really sets Jam Coding apart is the support. From the franchise team to the training and resources, I’ve always felt backed to grow with confidence. Regular team training and collaboration have helped us consistently deliver high quality sessions, and schools can really see the value in what we offer. Jam Coding has given me the opportunity to build a business that has real impact in the community, and I’m genuinely excited about what’s next.
