What CIY.Club is

CIY.Club is a licensing brand for a coding, robotics and AI education programme. It is not a school, a platform company or a publisher — it is the entity that licenses the right to deliver the programme to business partners worldwide.

The business model: CIY.Club licences its curriculum, brand, learning platform and training system to partners — individual educators, tuition centre operators, regional operators and country investors — who then deliver the programme to students in their local markets. Students pay on a recurring monthly subscription basis.

The licensing network spans Southeast Asia and the Middle East, with further countries open.

Curriculum origin: ScopeIT Education, Australia

The CIY.Club curriculum was developed by ScopeIT Education, Australia. ScopeIT Education is the originating organisation behind the coding, robotics and AI programme. CIY.Club licences this curriculum globally.

The curriculum covers coding, robotics and AI education across age-appropriate levels. The fact that the curriculum has an identifiable origin organisation — rather than being internally created — is a verifiable starting point for due diligence.

To verify: ask CIY.Club for documentation of the curriculum origin and the licence relationship with ScopeIT Education, Australia.

Accreditation: STEM.org (USA)

CIY.Club reports accreditation by STEM.org (USA), a US-based STEM education accreditation organisation. STEM.org works with education providers to certify curriculum alignment with STEM standards.

STEM.org accreditation is a curriculum quality benchmark, not a government regulatory approval or a university affiliation. It is a third-party endorsement of curriculum quality. To verify the accreditation, you can check the STEM.org website directly.

What to verify before you commit

This section is the most important part of this guide. A prospect who does thorough due diligence is the kind of partner CIY.Club wants. Here is what to verify before signing anything:

  1. Request the full licence agreement. Do not rely on summary descriptions, brochures or this website. The licence agreement is the document that governs your rights and obligations.

  2. Confirm the operating entity and company registration. Ask CIY.Club for the legal name, registered address and company registration number of the entity you are contracting with. Verify this against the relevant business registry in the country of incorporation.

  3. Confirm territory terms in writing. Is your territory exclusive? For how long? What happens at renewal? What constitutes a breach? These details are in the agreement — read them.

  4. Ask for the current fee schedule. The full fee structure — initial investment, ongoing royalties or platform fees, any marketing fund contributions — should be disclosed clearly before you sign.

  5. Speak to existing partners. Ask CIY.Club to connect you with current licensees. Speak to them independently, without a CIY.Club representative present.

  6. Take independent legal advice. A lawyer familiar with commercial licensing in your jurisdiction should review the agreement before you sign. The cost of this advice is minor relative to the investment involved.

  7. Confirm what marketing support is contractual versus discretionary. Understand exactly what CIY.Club is obligated to provide versus what is provided as a goodwill service.

This is not a list designed to discourage you from the opportunity. It is the standard due diligence process that any serious business investor should apply to any licensing opportunity at this investment level.
