About ComputerXplorers
ComputerXplorers is a children’s computing education franchise, running engaging, interactive computing classes for children from pre-school to secondary school age.
The business prepares children for a technology-driven future through extra-curricular education at after-school sessions, weekend academies, holiday camps, and in-school lessons. Since launching in 2006 in the UK, it has grown to include 28 UK and six international family businesses, teaching between 15,000 and 30,000 students each week.
ComputerXplorers was the original franchise that XplorerGroup’s Managing Director, Stuart Harley, joined as a franchisee in 2019 and since his takeover as the ComputerXplorers franchisor, the brand has increased its turnover by 300%. He leads by example and has many ambitions for the future of ComputerXplorers, planning for continued growth and maintaining a culture within the franchise of creativity and innovation.
How does the ComputerXplorers franchise model work?
One of the many benefits of owning a franchise is that you can choose how to run your business. Whether you’re working from home, or from an office, each day is likely to be different but will include:
- Business development: Connecting with local schools to offer after-school clubs, workshops, or weekend clubs. These relationships are valuable, so even when schools are on board, you’ll maintain regular contact. This will allow you to gather continuous feedback so that you’re able to grow and improve your ComputerXplorers services.
- Marketing: While ComputerXplorers will provide marketing support for the first year, there will be the need for you to create localised marketing content, such as social media posts or partnerships.
- Teaching and lesson planning: Particularly in the early stages, before you have recruited additional teachers, you will work with the resources provided to plan and run the children’s lessons.
- Recruitment: Initially, many franchisees choose to teach the classes themselves to save on overheads. However, as you expand, the need will arise to recruit teachers. You’ll spend time recruiting teachers, then mentoring and teaching them to deliver the ComputerXplorers curriculum.

Why is the ComputerXplorers franchise a good investment?
Nine out of 10 parents want their kids to be able to code and tech skills are invaluable for future employability. Learning computing skills helps in so many areas, from problem solving to design, and maths to storytelling. ComputerXplorers helps children start on their journey to fulfil their potential, giving them the tools they need to thrive in a technology driven future. The franchise is growing and adapting to the needs of the market, continually improving its offering. In 2022, it formed technology partnerships with educational platform AppShed to create the CXA App Academy – which aims to inspire the next generation of app developers.
Furthermore, the technology industry counts for more than 6.3% of UK jobs, according to ComputerXplorers, and this is forecast to grow. Despite technologies’ important role, many schools currently do not have capacity to teach it extensively so the brand’s unique lesson plans and curriculum, created with professional educators and experts, go above and beyond the national curriculum to equip children with the best tech skills. It’s not just about computing or coding as the franchise covers different types of technology from apps to gaming, animation to robotics. Lessons are fun, interactive, and engaging, meaning kids learn without knowing it.
