I hope to be taught by sam again. I think that he really goes out of his way to help us and to make this the best time of our liv

Sam and Beatriz were absolutely amazing tutors who made the experience a lot better however the course wasn't for me, the residential was not suitable, the evening activities was underwhelming and it wasn't catered for the older students who wanted to relax at night and not necessarily watch Sponge
FunTech Response
Sorry to hear that the course wasn't for you. We don't often find this, however, wish you had told us earlier in the week as we may have been able to swap you to another course.
The evening activity options were: Scuba, Dodge Ball, Games Night, Movie Night.
For Movie Night, I believe the choice was Cast Away (Older ones), Encanto (Junior Ones).
I appreciate that you wanted to go straight to your room after dinner, however we do think it’s important to either socialise with the others or just chill in the common area.

whilst in the camp I thought there was a good balance between learning new things and fun challenges to solidify your understanding of the topic, and also my teacher Sam was exceptional at teaching. Also the residential place that we stayed at was very big and the rooms are very nice.

The day is well structured and the material taught is very thorough and informational. There is lots f information to absorb but my teacher gave me a cheat sheet to take wit

I am sorry to hear that you would have liked more tutors, our ratio is 8 students to 1 tutor and there were 8 students in your class.
Had you added it to your daily feedback at the time, we may have been able to do something about it.

pros: great teacher (very patient) interesting topic, and lots of linux skills learnt.
cons: annoying kids in the class and in the break room , needed more managing.(2 break rooms) Computers could be ridiculously slow at times, otherwise the course was great.
FunTech Response
We have a mix of children in the group, some who were super excited, who I think you are referring to.
When running various programs especially for hacking, these can take a while to run through to find the correct code.
Glad you found it an interesting topic.

The camp was super fun.
The tutorial videos were a bit lagy though and for the metasploit exercises it didn't specify what we had to do which made our teacher very confused and frustrated. Overall great camp.
FunTech Response
The video's may have lagged due to the internet connect at the time.
Sorry about the metasplot exercise, I shall pass this onto our development team to check.
Glad to hear hear you thought that overall the camp was great!

Sorry to hear you found it very tiring. As a standard we take two 15 minute breaks in the morning, two in the afternoon plus an hour for lunch.
However, this course is very technical and so perhaps that made it a lot more intense.

The course has been designed purposefully on an older operating system, so that we are confident that the vulnerabilities exist for you to learn from.
