Python coder

Archie enjoyed the Python Coder Level 1 course so much he asked to go straight onto the Level 2 course.

He enjoyed it so much, he is now doing it for his GCSEs.

That’s inspiration for you!

An enjoyable and worthwhile week

Our son really enjoyed the virtual camp for a week of coding. He learned loads and had fun too.

The tutor managed to balance the amount of learning without it feeling overwhelming being online all day.

Excellent course

My only issue is the python dev environment. It was a bit intrusive for the tutors to have full control of our home computer.

My son as a matter of principle and his age doesn’t have his own computer so has to use mine. Other providers use a virtual environment which has python embedded for similar courses.

He particularly enjoyed using his new knowledge to write his own code.

Everybody is happy!

Hello, our son participated in the 2-week Roblox - Game Developer virtual camp this summer.

We were very pleased with the course. Our son thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it!

FunTech staff are always very efficient and quick to follow up if we have any questions. Even the preparation ahead of the course works very well with helpful staff at hand to support us.

We will definitely be enrolling our son to more camps. Perhaps Residential next time as we have full confidence in team at FunTech!

My daughter found the Indie Game Developer Camp very interesting and it has inspired her to consider developing further her skills in game design and development. The size of the class was small (3 children). The tutor was excellent! She was knowledgeable, greatly able at passing that knowledge at the level required by the students and made the whole experience fun and enjoyable.

I should also add that the technical support was, as usual, pro-active and very helpful whether in the computer set up stage or during the camp period.

Thank you ever so much to the Funtech Team for making the camp such as a valuable and positive experience for my daughter.

My son loved this camp! It was the first time he was doing a virtual camp and he had a lot of fun and interactions with the teacher and the other kids. For us there was no option to do a residential or day camps as we live abroad now so the virtual course gave him the opportunity to do something that he loves in his mother tongue.

He enjoyed so much that he is currently doing another one!

3D Game Design - Developer

I cannot speak highly enough about FunTech. What an absolutely awesome company that helps children and teens with coding and tech.

They have a range of courses (although you have to book early) that I wish I had when I was younger. But my ten year old daughter joined for a two week's session on 3D Game Designing using Unreal Engine over the summer and she loved it.

She has been learning python coding since she was six so it was nice for her to do something different. And even though she had a wobble in the middle of the course, the company was absolutely fantastic and supported her with some one to one private lessons to get her to the end.

My daughter wrote: "To Connor. Thank you for giving me 1 to 1s to help me understand Unreal Engine. I really appreciate it. I am really happy with the end result of my game and I am hoping to add many more levels and upgrade my current ones to make my game way more interesting."

@Sheineez Barber I applaud you for setting up such an awesome company and excellent customer service.

As a result, I have shared with many friends and I will book Georgie onto her next course soon and every year from here on. 10 out of 10...

I couldn't recommend this company highly enough.

Felix had a brilliant time on the Minecraft Mod course. He'd never done anything like this before and we were a bit worried that it would be too much for him or not engaging enough to keep him seated but he was up at the crack of dawn every morning raring to go.

The course was well structured, age appropriate, and when things got a bit confusing his tutor was quick to reassure and help. When he accidentally deleted everything he'd created his tutor went above and beyond to recover his work for him which was much appreciated.

Felix learnt a lot, gained new confidence in creating his own characters, blocks and objects in Minecraft and has been using all his screen time since making more.

Many thanks for a great couple of weeks.

My son enjoyed the beginner Python coding course

My son really enjoyed the course and made some friends. He made his own text based adventure game and is pretty excited about it. Looking forward to the next course.
Only one minor concern was that he had some connection issues but this was also experienced by others on the course.

Fantastic python coding course

My daughter took the beginners level python course and absolutely loved it. It was set at just the right level for her and she's keen on doing the next level.

Roblox - Game Developer

Learnt new stuff, it was fun I loved it
I even managed to make a game.

Tutor was amazing

The tutor for Roblox Design was amazing, friendly and super helpful. My son enjoyed the class. Thank you!

Virtual 3D gaming

My son loved this course, I was worried he might be a bit fed up at the end of the two weeks but he said it went by really quickly and he was completely engaged with every lesson.

We will be back for another course next holidays!

AI Virtual Camp

Our son thoroughly enjoyed the AI virtual camp. The machine learning, neural networks and deep learning were explained very well.
We are therefore very pleased with this virtual camp.

Class was challenging at times for my 7yo as not used to focus on a class for half a day but managed through it. Some days the content seemed more interesting to her hence a good half day other times mostly at beginning she had more difficulty staying on the course topic.
The trainer had immense patience with her and the others in the class.
Warmly recommend it.
Mine wanted me around her whilst she did the class but every child is different.

OOP Python - A brilliant next step course

This was my son's third course with Funtec. Support for the set up ahead of the course was brilliant and everything ran smoothly. He had a fun week and managed to progress a project he has been working on with some new ideas from the instructor as well as completing the coursework. Thank you.

good experience with FunTech

My son is enjoying the course. The teacher is enthusiastic and professional in teaching. Class size is small, so each student can receive sufficient support. The teacher frequently checked if students understand or able to follow up. I would recommend this course to my friends.

Andy enjoyed his virtual camp. He learned a new coding skill and he is confident that it will be useful in his computer studies in school. He had a Great teacher and she was very patient! Thank you.

Python - Coder virtual camp

It's a great camp to introduce the python code to young children. Tutor even offered additional Q&A session to help my boy, which is very kind. It will help the children revise the new knowledge if small assignment can be provided after each session.

Thank you.

I think this course has been a great success for my son and although the first few days he found the content easy he soon settled in and it has cemented his knowledge which we wanted to make sure we could do. The tutor Sam impressed me as he had to deal with younger students and my son at the same time but he managed the age gap and gave my son different tasks as he realised maybe my son needed a bit more to do at times. He was professional at all times and the whole course was prompt and well managed.
We are doing 2 more courses and my son is looking forward to progressing with Funtech’s help.

A Great Experience

Kai really enjoyed learning about Roblox and found himself immersed in it. The instructions were clear and easy to follow and made the experience well worth while.

This is our third virtual camp, and there will be a fourth.
It is well priced , well organised and well run. Our 11 year old son loves it and it is an educational break from other activity holiday camps.
If I had one criticism it would be that sometimes the responses to technical queries can take a few days, but this has so far not causes any problems.

Roblox Gaming

My 9 year old absolutely loved this course and would race to the computer before the start of the lessons each day and excitedly share with me all that she’d learnt. The teacher really engaged her and I’d highly recommend.

Monty's Virtual Camp

My son loved the Minecraft camp. It was easy to set up for him and the teacher was friendly and knowledgeable. Monty learned a lot of cool new things and was very glad he attended.

Edward's Virtual Camp

Ted enjoyed the course more than I thought he would. He was actually sad when it finished! It was great we could use childcare vouchers. Everyone was really helpful whenever I had contact with them. Thank you.

Great Courses but not very kind to computer illiterate parents as everything is online

My Children have enjoyed the courses at Funtech and although expensive I think they are worth it. Their Computer Support Guy Lucas is amazing and helps download the programmes the children need. My only gripe is all messages are all on the website so you will get a text message on your phone that only tells you to go to the portal to read the message which is just frustrating and then once completed the course they do not print out certificates and post which it would be nice to have a proper certificate on headed paper, and even requested they don't accommodate.

Awesome!

Helped my son immensely on his coding journey

My son thoroughly enjoyed his week doing this course. He was fully immersed the whole time. Never seen him so engaged and committed to something from 9am to 5.30pm for 5 full days. Thank you.

Thank you, Remy indeed enjoyed his classes. As Roblox server wasn't working today I was not able to see his final class output, but this I was promised would be resolved next week. I would highly rate Remy's teacher, as she was very friendly and professional and made the course fun for my son. It is also a praise for Funtech as a whole, as you went ahead with the course even though he was your only student. One slight negative comment I'd say is the lack of takeaway notes, so Remy could use them while working on his project and also get back to them after the course.

FunTech response.
Thank-you for taking the time to let us have your feedback. I will explore the option of having some takeaway notes in the future. This half term we were fully subscribed on majority of the other camps, however, we appreciate that parents rely on these camps and as such we aim never to cancel any camp. Am delighted to hear he enjoyed the camp and hope your server is back up and running soon.
