My son is not a gaming boy as such so was worried, he wouldn't be interested. However, this course was great for him. He thoroughly enjoyed it and was self-sufficient once all the software was loaded. Loading of software was a little challenging which is understandable given everyone has a differ...

The coding lessons seems well- structured, could be better to spend a bit time in each day to explain the learning objects and outcomes, and have a summary at the end of each lesson for study focus. There are some teaching contents delivered by direct recorded videos, which seems not very eff...

My 12 year old son thoroughly enjoyed attending. He selected the part-time, 2 week course. This worked well throughout the summer holidays. The teacher (Musaab) was great with the children. Overall, a well ran course with excellent support. We will be signing up to the next one.

I was unsure that my 12 yo would be able to do a full week of coding after months of hanging out with his pals but he really embraced it and had a great time. It also got his brain black into gear in time for the start of term. Result! I was really impressed at how accessible and helpful su...

Tutors are very good at teaching, and the course is very helpful and inclusive. The only reason it isn't 5 stars is £475 for an online call is quite expensive. otherwise, this was great!

The overall course was fun.
There were parts that were a bit boring but when learning something there always is.
I enjoyed making the games the most.
Especially the rock,paper scissors and the end of course games.

Sorry you found the first part of the first morning frustrating, however before we can move onto more challenging concepts, we need to make sure everyone in the group is at the same level.

FunTech Response
I am sorry you found our virtual environment a bit intrusive.
However, rest assured that once the lesson has finished, we do not have control or access to your machine.
FunTech invests a substantial amount in this environment so that parents are confident that we will support their child for both technical issues that may arise or with any course content.
Delighted that your son enjoyed the course.

FunTech Response
We have a zero tolerance policy on any negative behaviour.
Sadly, this summer we had to ask for one child to be picked up on the Monday due to bad behaviour.
Without going into details there were a number of external factors that we were asked to consider, and against my better judgement and whilst I was having daily conversations with him and his parents, I took the decision to let it him continue.
The FunTech team at Tonbridge should not bear any responsibility for this.
I did consider moving him into a one-to-one group, however, I felt this might affect him negatively.
That said, in hindsight, I should have informed all the other parents of the children in his class, and perhaps we should have asked him to leave.
For this I can only apologise.

FunTech Response
Sadly, our usual location were not offering their facilities for the summer, which is why we found an alternative. Hopefully next year we will back at our usual location.
It was an exceptionally hot week and we got one fan per two students dispatched to every location, and tried to keep all doors and windows open that we were able to.
With reference to the rail strike, the challenge we faced was that some families were able to come to the location, and so we were unable to run both location and virtual camps for that day due as we could not split the staff between the two.
Glad to read that your son enjoyed the course and I am sure he has learnt good solid python skills.
