The cisco academy approved evening class ones are good we had 20 switches and 20 routers to play with at Mender College in the UK but it was about £500/£600 per quarter (free if you are unemployed)

CISCO was very much the gold standard, I'm thinking more like html -> client side -> server side (simple) -> server side (more complex).

PS: I'm glad it worked for you.

Well they need a flexible accreditation route then don't they?

UK: I could get short (18 hour) courses accredited by writing a submission including Bloom Cognitive Domain style outcomes and an assessment plan in a couple of months. We made liberal use of e.g. in the assessment criteria so that the criteria could remain valid for a year or five even though the platform, language and methods could change as needed.

They are learning to code, they particulars of the technology shouldn't really matter.
