Divya was delighted to have completed the Cyber Hackathon course. Even though it was hard in the beginning for her(she has just completed year 8), the staff happily went over it again and again and she was understood the course and was very happy to do it.
She is considering a career in Cyber Security, so this course has laid a good groundwork in that journey.
As parents, we were happy with the course, location, facilities and friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Purecoder Level 1

My son enjoyed the lessons and said his tutor was fantastic. It's a challenging yet rewarding course.

My son enjoyed the course, and liked the teachers and other boys, but I didn't think the venue was really very appropriate for a group of this age group (predominantly 7-9). A school setting with much quicker and easier access to the outside to burn off steam would be better for the children and for the staff, with the serviced offices saved for older groups. I don't think it is healthy for young children to be kept inside for hours on end without fresh air. I would certainly be keen for him to attend another Funtech course, but would not book at this venue again.

I was disappointed that the original course we booked was cancelled, Lego Robotics Coder, as I think my son would have got more out of getting to build a physical robot. I hope that course will be offered again another session.
I was also disappointed that the original mid-July dates were cancelled. I am sure I am not the only parent who was delighted to find a course early in the school holidays, as many things only start when state school holidays do. It was a blow when it was cancelled.

Great Introduction into the World of Coding

Dear Sheineez and team, thank you for the dedicated work of the tutors. Luca had a good time and there wasn’t one single Saturday where we had to push him to go online for his course. It was a very good way of learning, in particular during the Covid-restricted period of 2020/21. We are going ...

Dear Sheineez and team,
thank you for the dedicated work of the tutors. Luca had a good time and there wasn’t one single Saturday where we had to push him to go online for his course.
It was a very good way of learning, in particular during the Covid-restricted period of 2020/21.
We are going to move to the UAE and will revert back concerning possible future courses once we know how the new school and schedule of Luca will pan out.
Best regards, Stefan

My 11 yo enjoyed the course, was eager to get on with his work, and looked forward to it starting. The tuition was excellent and my son learnt a lot of the basics of programming Python. Working over two weeks of half-days helped him stay focused. He thanked me, dad, for funding the course, and i'm now in his good books! He will be doing Python OOP next.

Our 12 year old son was a beginner in Java at the start of this course. I asked him after it finished whether he would recommend it. The answer was yes, for the following reasons:
- Liked the teaching style
- All the questions were answered
- Friendly atmosphere.

By the end, he has written is first gaming project as an independent exercise, up to 250 lines of code and counting.
Would highly recommend this course.

PureCoder - Level I 3

My teen said really enjoyable and a lot was learnt in a fun engaging way. Definitely a hit.

Really fantastic - I highly recommend this.

Funtech have been fabulous. My granddaughter loved, loved the course - it gave her confidence and she really enjoyed every lesson, not only that on the occasion when she needed it, they gave her free catch up time.
Frankly, this is a fantastic company I cannot recommend them highly enough

Pure Code level 1 and 2 fast track

Our son Vincent enjoyed the pure code level 1 and 2 fast track.
It was good to also have the option of asking for a catch up session before the next lesson to go through and consolidate the more complex topics.
As a result, Vincent has chosen Computer science as one of his GCSE subjects.

I LOVE THIS course and every thing is great but i found a few things hard but i like taking my time

BEST MINECRAFT CAMP EVER!!!

This camp was amazing as the tutor was kind and helpful the whole way through. The best part was that the tutor helped everyone and if you were left behind he would help you catch up.

10/10

very interesting I know I will use it in my survival world!
I am exited to show this to my friends!

really fun and helpful

I really enjoyed it, it was so much fun! It really helped me learn redstone.

Extremely fun!

this was so much fun and educational! I definitely learnt more than i thought i would!

Really fun!

The course was really fun and I learnt quite a lot about redstone despite playing Minecraft for 4-5 years. I'll be sure to use some of this in my survival worlds!

I really enjoyed FunTech

I personally think that doing coding in FunTech was really enjoyable and its a really fun experience to learn how to code and make a few friends too (maybe).

Fantastic Funtech!

I have really enjoyed Funtech as I've learnt so many new things in python such as the different kinds of loops and nesting if and elif statements. I have learnt about how to ask the user for an input and much more code; even indenting! I had fun and i was able to make my own projects.

Good but bad

I liked it because it was easy but I didn't like the fact my interenet disconnected.

Scratch coder

I loved making that three games

scrtach coder

I had fun because we made games

Incredibly Helpful

Amazingly well planned out course, covering a wide range of relevant topics which will help me with computer science A-level. The instructor was very helpful as well.

Python Object Oreinted Programming

The python OOP course was very informative and helpful in making GUIs.

Great Course with a great teacher

This was a great course and I learnt loads. The teacher was great. I would definitely recommend the course and I would definitely do another course with Funtech.

Great Lessons

Personally I loved the experience of making games in python. You start off with nothing and then you add some things and you can see a game coming together. I had a lot of fun during these two weeks.

Great fun

It was very fun to learn to code our very own video game and good experience and practise for someone looking to program as a career. The tutor was very helpful and kind. Overall it was a great opportunity and I'm glad I took part!

The best camp ever!!!!!!

OMG I really enjoyed my week of online python coding camp, I learnt allot of new things about python which I didn't know before. I give this camp a 10/10, five stars, I really don't see any problems. In my opinion it went on for an hour too long, but al-in-all it was good fun.

I signed up for this course as a way to get a head start for my computer science GCSE. It has been very helpful and I have learnt a lot. The course has focused on learning and has still kept me entertained. My favourite part of the course has been doing the final assessment. If I could improve one thing it would be that instead of having two 15 minute breaks in the morning it could be 1 half hour break.

Python game developer review

The start of the week was riddled with errors and had less creativity, but it got progressivly better and by the end of the week i would have probably rated it five stars

It was good but the playing facilities are not to good but other than that it is very informative

the mazes were really fun except for the part when I accidentally deleted my world though that led to the birth if a bigger and better maze. I loved it this week
