Parents: Worried about computer course cost? Or worried it’s a waste of time? Real talk: Rs. 27,000 investment today = Rs. 300,000+ income next year. 10x return. Your child learns skills, earns money, stays in school, all at once.
Parent Reality Check
Your fear (honest):
“Computer course is expensive (Rs. 30k). My child might not finish. Money wasted. Or they’ll neglect school.”
Real outcome (data):
– Most CYBEX students finish the course
– Many earn their first freelance income within weeks of finishing
– Most maintain school grades (or improve)
– Course pays for itself in a few weeks of freelancing for graduates who actively pursue clients
The Math: Rs. 27k Investment → Rs. 300k+ Return
Course investment: Rs. 27,000 (student discount)
Timeline to payback:
– Week 1: Course starts
– Week 4: Portfolio done, freelancing starts
– Week 4-7: First income Rs. 3-5k per project (1-2 projects)
– By week 8: Course cost recovered (Rs. 27k earned back)
Post-course earnings:
– Month 2-3: Rs. 20-50k/month
– Month 4-12: Rs. 30-80k/month
– Year total: Rs. 250-500k earned
NET ROI: Rs. 27k invested → Rs. 300k earned = 11x return
Compare to college education:
– 4-year college: Rs. 5-20 lakh invested
– Expected salary after graduation: Rs. 50-80k/month
– ROI: 10-15 years to break even
vs. CYBEX computer course:
– 8-week course: Rs. 27k invested
– Expected income after graduation: Rs. 30-80k/month
– ROI: 3-4 weeks to break even
Why NOW (Not College)
Reason 1: Skills compound over time
– Start at 15 (school): 4+ years to build expertise before college
– Start at 18 (college): Only 4 years of skill-building (college + work)
– Your child age 15 + 4 years = expert by college (huge advantage)
Reason 2: College admissions love this
Most applications: “I want to study computer science” (generic)
Your child: “I’ve already built 3 projects, freelanced, published on Upwork” (specific, impressive)
Reason 3: Earnings during school = independence**
Your child earning during school can help buy own laptop, books, exam fees, help family. Not dependent on you for everything.
Reason 4: Career insurance**
School diploma = one credential
School diploma + computer skills + portfolio = two credentials
More options = better safety net
Your Child Will Earn Real Money
Income timeline (realistic, not fantasy):
– Week 1-4: Learning (no income)
– Week 5-6: First project (Rs. 2-5k)
– Week 8: Portfolio done
– Month 2-3: Rs. 20-40k/month (2-4 projects)
– Month 6-12: Rs. 40-80k/month (established)
By year-end: Rs. 250-400k earned (for students who freelance consistently)
What they can buy with earnings:
– Laptop (one-time)
– College entrance exam fees
– Books + materials
– Phone upgrade
– Help family with utilities
– Independence (feel like earning adult)
Most important: They OWN this money. They earned it. Psychology matters.
College Admissions: Real Edge
Standard school student (applying to college):
– GPA: 3.5-4.0
– Test scores: Good
– Essays: “I want to study computer science”
– Portfolio: Zero
– Work experience: Tutoring/internship (unpaid)
– Result: Accepted but merit scholarship Rs. 50-100k
Your child (8th-10th + course + freelancing):
– GPA: 3.5-4.0 (same or better from motivation)
– Test scores: Good
– Essays: “I learned web development, built 3 projects, freelanced on Upwork”
– Portfolio: 3-5 projects on GitHub/Behance
– Work experience: Freelancer (earned income)
– Result: Accepted + merit scholarship Rs. 100-200k (noticed real experience)
Scholarship difference: +Rs. 50-100k (pays course cost back 2-4x)
School Grades: Will They Drop?
Honest answer: Not if managed right.**
What we typically see among CYBEX students (9-12 class):
Most have the same or better grades (motivation boost from earning money). A minority see a slight dip that recovers after exams — usually the ones who don’t pause the course during exam season.
Key: School comes first. Computer course comes second. If grades slip → pause course (temporary). Resume after exams.
Most parents worry unnecessarily. With flexibility (pause during exams), grades stay fine.
What Parents Ask Us
The most common concerns we hear from parents echo the FAQs below — will it distract from school, is the course legitimate, will their child actually earn money, and how much time will it really take. We answer these directly with parents on a free consultation call, and encourage you to also speak with current or past students’ families if you’d like a first-hand perspective — we can connect you.
Parent Concerns: FAQ
Q1: Won’t the course distract from school?
No, if timed right. Weekend-only course = zero weekday disruption. Evening batch = class after school (fits perfectly). Online = self-paced (pause for exams). Most students maintain their school grades. The students who struggle = those who don’t pause for exams (easily fixed).
Q2: What if they don’t finish the course?
Most students finish. Dropout rate is low. Plus, we offer flexible completion: Pause during exam season, resume after. Not all-or-nothing. Plus, partial completion = still valuable (students with 2-3 completed projects can freelance).
Q3: Is the course quality good or is it a scam?
CYBEX is NAVTTC-accredited (government verified) and PSDA-registered, operating since 2017. Not a scam. Real training institute with real outcomes. Check our Google reviews and feel free to ask to speak with alumni or their parents directly.
Q4: How do I know they’ll actually earn money?
They will if they freelance actively. Course teaches skills. Freelancing platforms (Fiverr/Upwork) have unlimited work. Results depend on effort — students who apply consistently after the course see the best outcomes. Average: Rs. 2-5k first project (week 4-5), then growing from there for students who stay consistent.
Q5: Won’t they need a college degree to earn real money?
Not in tech. Degree helps, but portfolio matters more. Employers care: “What can you build?” not “What degree do you have?” Freelancing even more so: Just need skills + reviews. Portfolio + experience matters as much as, sometimes more than, a diploma.
Q6: What if they hate computer stuff?
CYBEX offers a free first week. Try it before paying. If they hate it, walk away (no cost). Most like it once they start building (seeing results is motivating). But if not → at least you know before paying full amount.
Q7: How much time will this take (will it overload them)?
Only 5-10 hours/week. Weekend batch = 6 hours/week (Sat-Sun). Evening batch = 9 hours/week (Mon-Wed 4-7 PM). Online = self-paced (1-5 hours/week your choice). Plus, school = 50 hours/week. So total = 55-60 hours/week (same as full-time job, totally normal for teens). Not excessive.
What to Look for in a Course Provider
Red flags (avoid these):
– ❌ No credentials (government accreditation)
– ❌ No portfolio/projects (just theory)
– ❌ No instructor (just videos)
– ❌ No student testimonials (suspicious)
– ❌ “Guaranteed job” (no one can guarantee this)
– ❌ Too cheap (quality costs money)
Green flags (good providers like CYBEX):
– ✅ Government accreditation (NAVTTC + PSDA registered)
– ✅ Real projects + portfolio building
– ✅ Live instructors + feedback
– ✅ Real testimonials (from graduates)
– ✅ Realistic claims (“Earn potential Rs. 20-50k/month if you freelance”)
– ✅ Reasonable price (Rs. 25-40k, not cheap or expensive)
– ✅ Free trial week (try before paying)
Decision Time: Should You Allow This?
IF YES (allow computer course):
– Child learns valuable skills ✅
– Can earn real income ✅
– Builds portfolio + confidence ✅
– College admission advantage ✅
– Future career options ✅
– Independence (not reliant on you) ✅
– Cost: Rs. 27k
– Time: 5-10 hours/week (manageable)
IF NO (forbid computer course):
– Child stays fully focused on school ✅
– No risk of distraction ✅
– BUT: Loses years of possible skill-building
– BUT: No early income opportunity
– BUT: Starts college with less hands-on experience
– BUT: Career options limited (no portfolio)
Real talk: IF YES wins on most metrics. The main reason for NO = legitimate exam stress (then compromise: pause during exams).
Action Plan: Next Steps
Step 1: Talk to your child
“Would you want to learn computer skills + earn money while in school?” (Yes/No matters)
Step 2: Free consultation call
Call CYBEX, ask questions, verify credentials, understand options. No commitment (free).
Step 3: Free trial week
Your child attends one full week of class, free. See if they like it. If yes → enroll. If no → walk away (zero cost).
Step 4: Payment plan (don’t pay full upfront)
– Option A: 2-payment (50% now, 50% after week 3)
– Option B: 3-payment (spread over 8 weeks)
– Reason: First freelance income (week 4+) covers remaining payment
Step 5: Monitor + support
– Check school grades (priority #1)
– If grades drop → pause course (temporary)
– Track freelance income (celebrate wins)
– Celebrate milestones (first project, first payment, portfolio done)
Your Role as Parent
DO THIS:**
– ✅ Support their decision (they’re taking initiative)
– ✅ Celebrate earnings (encourage financial independence)
– ✅ Monitor school (grades stay priority)
– ✅ Help with time management (weekday vs weekend)
– ✅ Pause during exam season (you decide together)
DON’T DO THIS:**
– ❌ Don’t pay full amount upfront (use payment plan)
– ❌ Don’t force them into course (let them choose)
– ❌ Don’t assume they’ll fail
– ❌ Don’t shame them if they earn (celebrate it)
– ❌ Don’t neglect school monitoring (still priority)
Final Word to Parents
Your child is at the age where they can:
1. Learn faster than adults (brain plasticity)
2. Build portfolio while still in school (huge advantage)
3. Earn money (independence + confidence)
4. Maintain school focus (with right timing)
This is the golden window. In 5 years, they’ll either regret “I wish I had started at 15” or celebrate “Best decision I made in 9th grade.”
Rs. 27,000 today is a modest investment for a skill that lasts a lifetime and can pay for itself many times over.
