Back in the autumn of 2002, I climbed tentativly up the steps into FunTech for the very first time. There I experienced the wonders of computing from learning to touch-type all the way to navigating Lego robotic arms.
Now over 11 years later, I'm still here and having a great time. The place has changed over time but I've never stopped and I've carried on. I've made new friends, I've learnt valuable new skills, and had some really fun times. I've even now been given work here and it would have never happened if I hadn't gone up those steps all those years ago.
With FunTech, I've achieved an A grade in ICT, 3 years before I would have done it at school. I've been studying C# programming now for almost 2 years and intend to do the A-Level in Computing after my other GCSE's here.
FunTech is truly one of those places where, even after 11 years, it always feels like something to look forward to. The teaching is some of the best I've ever experienced and the summer courses on offer are really fun too (I intend to do the Minecraft modding course this summer).

Above all though, FunTech has been like a family to me and I have loved all my time here. Thank you Shen and all of my teachers for making this one of the most memorable parts of my childhood and I hope others can experience the joy and fun I've had here.

More than just a school

I studied my A-level Computing at Funtech back in 2005. The experience left me with not only a top grade qualification, thanks to the quality and dedication of the staff, but also the confidence and mind-set to go on to achieve my aspirations and goals. As a result, I have been working as a b...

I studied my A-level Computing at Funtech back in 2005. The experience left me with not only a top grade qualification, thanks to the quality and dedication of the staff, but also the confidence and mind-set to go on to achieve my aspirations and goals.

As a result, I have been working as a business consultant for some of the largest multinationals. I have the encouragement and determination of the Funtech staff to thank as a big contributor to my success. At Funtech, every child has their individual needs cared for and the staff work relentlessly to untap ability and potential.

I would not hesitate to recommend Funtech as a great first-class schooling institution.

Cool

Very informative and helpful with regards to learning and progress, basically Funtech is the best.

Great for developing many skills!

I attended FunTech between 2002 – 2005. During this time I completed the 1 year GCSE and Computing A-Level courses.

I attended FunTech between 2002 – 2005. During this time I completed the 1 year GCSE and Computing A-Level courses. My time at FunTech was very beneficial because I completed the 1 year GCSE before I took my other GCSEs at school, which gave me a head start on my peers in relation to external GCSE examination preparations. The course was fast paced and consequently very enjoyable. I started my AS-Level during my final years of GCSEs at school, which helped me substantially with my organisational skills, but once again prepared me for the change in academic demand associated with the transition from KS4 to KS5. Finishing the Computing A-Level a year in advance of my others at school was a huge advantage because universities accepted it as part of my conditional offer, which took the pressure off during my final school examination year.
Since my time at Funtech, I have completed a Biology Honours degree at University followed by a Science PGCE at Oxford University. I am currently working as a Science Teacher at a school in Oxfordshire whilst completing a part-time Masters at Oxford University alongside my teaching timetable.
I would recommend FunTech to other people. An extracurricular commitment to a course at FunTech is not only a great way to develop your computer skills; it is a fantastic opportunity to enhance the other transferable skills, such as time management and independence that are essential for further education and future employment.

I completed the 1 year ICT GCSE at FunTech during the 2008-2009 academic year at the age of 12. Prior to this course, I had attended a couple of the holiday courses. The holiday courses taught me various different computer related skills and I enjoyed them so much that I decided to commit to the GCSE course. Despite only doing my GCSE whilst in Year 8 at school, it taught me a lot about exam preparation and skills that were very beneficial to me as I progressed through my work at school. This meant I was less nervous about what to expect when I started my GCSEs because I already had some experience of them unlike my school friends. In addition to this, my FunTech experience encouraged me to present my work to a really high level. I am currently sitting my AS-Levels in Geography, German, English and Psychology. I really enjoyed my time at FunTech and found the teachers fun and approachable. They were really supportive and took a real interest in both your FunTech and school work.

Great Courses!

I have thoroughly enjoyed all the different courses that I have taken part in at Funtech - Whether it was Stepped Approach, Programming or A-Level Computing, the teaching is great and the classes are fun and enjoyable.

What's good about Funtech ??

Everything is good about FunTech. Even though I am not too keen on homework it is still good to do because then you can revise on what you did in the lesson and make sure you understand what you did. The staff and teachers are really nice and they got me through my GCSE when I was only in year 8 ...

Everything is good about FunTech. Even though I am not too keen on homework it is still good to do because then you can revise on what you did in the lesson and make sure you understand what you did. The staff and teachers are really nice and they got me through my GCSE when I was only in year 8 and I got the grade. They are always here to help and make sure you understand what to do. I have done many of the courses that FunTech offer and they have all been great and very interesting. The summer courses they offer as well are very good and a lot of fun. I really enjoy FunTech. xxx
