As of May 2020, it was announced by the UK government that all Digital subscriptions are no longer VATable. As a small, family-run business we believe in fair pricing and as a result, we reduced our subscription cost by the 20% VAT rate. There is, therefore, no VAT chargeable on our payment.

We do not offer ‘free material’ other than our sample module as we run the site free of advertising. Our loyal subscribers enable us to keep the site up to date with the latest specification and also release brand new material.

When purchasing or upgrading your Teach Computer Science account to a paid plan, you might experience an error message if your payment method fails.

This is usually because your bank blocked the payment from being processed.

If your payment did fail, the best option is to contact your bank and let them know that the payment you tried to make was approved and that they should whitelist it so that you can try to make the payment again. Once your bank removes that block, you should be free to purchase with no more problems.

Alternatively, if you have a PayPal account, you can choose the PayPal option at the checkout instead. Most banks are more familiar with PayPal payments, so the payment is less likely to get flagged by your bank.

Yes! Many schools in the UK and abroad prefer to submit a purchase order and make payment directly through a bank transfer instead of purchasing online.

To do that, simply fill out our Purchase Order Form with the relevant details and submit it to our support team. Once we receive that, payment information will be sent over to you and your account will be upgraded as soon as we receive the payment.

We only want you to stay with Teach Computer Science if you get true value from it. We’d be sad to see you go, but we have made cancelling your membership very easy.

If you go to your account page, you’ll see the “Disable automatic renewal” button. To cancel, you just need to click that button and your membership will expire at the end of the payment period.

All of our resources are provided for download in PDF or PPT format and most modern computers should be able to open and print them from the File menu.

If you can’t open the PDF resources on your computer, you might need to install the free Adobe Reader software. You can also contact support if you have any trouble and we’ll help you to overcome any technical hiccups

That’s absolutely no problem! All emails include a clear Unsubscribe button within the footer. If you would like to unsubscribe from emails then please click the handy link before contacting support.

We never want to see members leave us however we appreciate that people change careers, move roles or no longer find value in our offering. If you would like your account and all data removed then please contact our support team and we will action this instantly.

Yes. Our membership is a digital product, so we cannot offer any refunds on new purchases. We ask all members to carefully check the sample topic ‘Introduction to computers’ to see if the material is what you are looking for. Please manage your automatic renewal settings in your Account and keep a lookout for our renewal reminder, which goes out three days before renewal takes place.

If you have any questions related to renewals or our refund policy, you can contact support via the contact form at the bottom of this FAQ.

It’s impossible for us to monitor all payments and know which payment is assigned to which account. If your finance department has made payment via bank transfer then please contact us with a clear reference, date of payment and organisation who made the payment. With this information, we will be able to upgrade your account without delay

Unfortunately, username cannot be changed once the account has been created. You can, however, use your email address instead of your username to log in. This can be changed within the account area.

Sometimes there can be a difficulty with downloading our resources. This is usually the case when your computer is part of larger school network and the filename/path becomes too long. Where this is the case, you can change your download path to Desktop before moving it to your server. If this does not help, you can rename the file in your browser to something shorter. If you’re still having trouble, please contact us and we can send you resources directly.

We don't currently offer a monthly payment plan and at this moment in time have no plans to do so long term. We are an incredibly small, family-run business so the processing costs and bandwidth of managing monthly payments are just too much.

We believe our yearly cost of £60 is also incredibly competitive given the value of our subscription. We currently have thousands of resources live and are constantly improving them to add even more value to the subscription. The price of the subscription never rises meaning the added value will continue for years to come.

The feedback we get from our premium members is that we save them hours of lesson planning a week. If you take that time over a year then it's hundreds of hours of precious time back to concentrate time and effort elsewhere. We really believe it's value for money.

Our materials are transferable and used with both UK and International GCSE examination board specifications.

We have put together mapping documents which show you exactly which modules align to the specification you are teaching.

You can view these here:

We've laid each topic out in a way where you can cross-check with the specification of your board to see what aligns. If you are studying a board which isn't listed above, then I would strongly suggest utilising our GCSE page and cross-referencing between your specification and the page. We've found most boards have very similar material.
