My son found the camp worthwhile and definitely improved his knowledge.
Virtual learning is always challenging but this was well organised and professionally delivered.
He did wish that there had been more interaction with other students, they learn from each other. I did feel that the students should have been requested/invited to show their faces rather than blank images. Face to face, even online is really important for understanding learning. This was not childcare for Owen but an opportunity to support his knowledge in readiness for his GCSE’s. I would definitely recommend.

Much more fun than school

From Max aged 12

Super fun and good for entry level game design. Really engaging and great teachers. It’s learning about tech in an interesting way - much more fun than school. I’d really recommend this to other people.

A great experience

My child really enjoyed the course. They are always on top of their game and maintained good contact with me and my child. Thank you!

My son enjoyed the course

My son enjoyed the course and had a real sense of achievement. His teacher was able to engage him and as such I didn't have any trouble getting my son to attend each day.

Indie Game Coder

My son really enjoyed the indie game coder course using Construct3 and has clearly learned a lot. He is able to create simple games independently and has lots of ideas for how to push his new skill forward.

PureCoder level 2 - Evan M

Evan has enjoyed this first year of regular term time coding and has found challenging the discipline and logic of determining what the program requires and how to deliver it in code form. He is looking forward to next year.

Exceptional

My son has benefitted greatly from his FunTech courses, and his teachers have also recognised this when working on his projects at school. Learning from home with the Virtual Lab is so easy. He sign's in each week and is engaged for the entire lesson, learning and laughing along the way. The tutors and staff always bend over backwards to help, they recognise and give additional support when needed. I'm extremely happy with FunTech and looking forward seeing what he will achieve with them next!
Thank you FunTech!

When technology has been the life blood of learning for children this year our timing was perfect with our son booked onto a term time course with Funtech. He has enjoyed it enormously and the flexibility of catch up classes and re-bookings is so well managed. Such a great opportunity for children of any age.

2020-2021 academic year

Victor enjoyed his time with Funtech in the academic year 2020 - 2021.
He gained a lot from he course, he definitely enjoyed the teaching style of his teacher Calum, and we hope the next academic year will continue to be as good and smooth as the previous year was.

Great learning

Amazing termtime course..focussed on real world skills at the development stage of children's school years..

A great week

My child found the start of the course a bit slow and would have liked some differentiation across the class, but overall they really enjoyed it and felt they had learned from the week. They found the teachers very helpful.

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.

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 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.

Very good camp

We have two weeks python level 2 camp, which our ten year old son enjoyed very much every day. At the end of the camp he was able to make simple text and video games with Python. We look forward to subscribe him into next level soon

it was the best

i like to build the stuff.
it was great fun

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!

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.

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.

Amazing

It has been really good and I have enjoyed it and really learned a lot. It was fun and I liked all the projects we did. He was very nice and helped with anything I needed help with.

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.
