Lyndon really enjoyed Python OOP. The camp was very well organised and very well run. The standard of tutor is very high. Lyndon has now been doing Funtech camps for 6 years! He has thoroughly enjoyed all of them. The offering is excellent - there is something to suit everyone from Minecraft to Roblox to Robotics and coding! Both children have loved trying out the different camps. The customer service of Funtech is really good too - they are very responsive and very helpful, going out their way to accommodate us. This year, we have particularly liked the format of the part-time virtual camps and would love to do more next year! Thanks very much Funtech!

Alexandra has really enjoyed the camp. She has done various Funtech camps over the years and they are consistently of a very high standard. The camps are very well organised, there is a good ratio of tutor to attendees and the tutors are all very engaging and knowledgeable. We are very impressed with Funtech which is why we keep coming back every year. This year, we have really liked the format of part time virtual camps - this has been great in breaking up the day and giving the children a very worthwhile activity where they are learning a lot. Thanks very much!

My 8 year old attended the online virtual camp this summer. I was originally a bit worried that I would have to stay with her the whole time to help her out when she became stuck- however I was pleasantly surprised she did the whole course without any assistance from myself at all. The tutor was excellent and managed to help her when she became stuck and my daughter said she really enjoyed the course and the biggest thing for me was I didn’t have to fight to get her to do it. I would def recommend for kids who love Roblox.

Bravo FunTech!

Another great course full of entertainment and learning.
It does not matter if it is Cybersecurity, Python or Java....all the teachers have been fantastic and the format just right to keep the children progressing
We tried the morning only format over two weeks to complete the course (while on holiday). This was very handy

Thank you for a great experience!

My daughter has just completed a week of python coder level2 virtual course. It was a fairly last minute decision to book as I needed to use up some accumulated childcare vouchers that would expire on her 15th birthday (few months time). The booking system was straightforward and I was refunded once the vouchers had gone through.
The programs that were necessary to install prior to the course took around an hour- a little tricky due to the firewalls in the laptop.

The tutor was very professional, engaging and knowledgeable. Regular breaks given throughout the session, timings were perfect. A well organised course, thank you.

Minecraft game coder part 1

Dylan had a really great time and enjoyed himself. He would consider doing another course during the holidays and also a weekly lesson.

Java camp

Child enjoyed it so much she booked onto the second Java week!

Java P1

My 15 year old daughter enjoyed the experience and has asked to do the follow on course! She is pleased to have learnt a language that she will not be taught in school.

The teaching was good and the ration of 3-6 pupils meant that got the attention they needed.

Roblox Designer Course - Virtual

Our son had an absolute blast - he loved the structure of the lessons and the content and can't wait to attend more camps in the future.

Excellent experience

My daughter really enjoyed the advanced python course, having done the basic one two weeks earlier.
I was surprised at the level of coding she was able to do by the end of the course and it fits really well with what she has been/ will be doing at school.
Definitely recommend.

Thanks for a great course with our 10 year old son. It was his first online coding course and he loved it. The teacher kept him engaged and we were so impressed with our son's focus and astounded by what he managed to build within the week. It did exactly what it says on the tin and more, he is now super confident about building Roblox games and is continuing to build them. The structure was just right and the breaks well timed and the teacher was super patient with them all. Really recommend it and we look forward to completing more courses with Funtech.

My Daughter enjoyed the virtual camps in Python and 3D Game Design which were convient and offered a safe space to start her learning journey. Tutors were attentive and gave her additional time, it is so important that girls can have future careers in tech and it starts without having their confidence knocked by those who have had more opportunities to test out their skills. My Daughter is keen to come back and learn more...so I am delighted that her first toe dip has been a successs and she would love a Minecraft design course aimed at secondary school age, if it is possible. Thank you Funtech team for making this learning accessible to all.

Great course!

It’s a great course and the tutor Nathan totally motivates my child’s passion on Python. Just after the 1st course, my child can not wait for the next one! Can we enrol Python 2 as soon as possible ? :)

Thank you!

Fantastic learning experience

A second course and part 2 of Java coding.... a great experience for my son and although he found it tricky at the start of the week the team at funtech did everything possible to support his needs. Communication was excellent throughout the course and the tutoring support was outstanding.

Megha really enjoyed the sessions and has started playing around with the code.

It was time well spent during holidays.

This is the second Funtech course that my daughter has done. The first (2 years ago) was good, but this time was much better. We have a M1 Mac which was a effort to set up before, but Funtech have caught up and give more robust instructions now. My daughter was sceptical before the course but really enjoyed it, thinking she we use it afterwards and that the teaching was very good.

Fantastic learning experience

Ethan loved the Java coding course from day 1. The instructor Kevin was absolutely fantastic - friendly, helpful and regularly checking progress etc.
The pace was perfect and my son thoroughly enjoyed his course.

Another Fabulous Course

This is the fourth course my son has completed with FunTech. Once again he enjoyed the content and learned a lot. The small class sizes, structure of the day and online delivery are all great.

AI - machine learning

Luz learned a lot through the course. Thank you very much

AI Machine Learning

James, aged 12, has had, yet again, a super week with Fun Tech this time on AI learning, He has been coding for chatbots, face recognition, landmark detection to name a few. He really liked his teacher and was kept stimulated and engaged for the course. Great work, FunTech! Keep it up!

3D Game course

My son enjoyed your virtual holiday camp.
He loves learning to use software, and he understands it in great detail thanks to the great tutors that Funtech always hire.

Mod Developer Part 1

My son loved this camp & he thought the trainer was brilliant! Well worth investing in

Minecraft- Redstone

My son loved the course. Thank you so much for keeping him entertained on so many rainy days!!

Very good course

Teacher was very nice and my daughter loved it.

Phoebe's Camp!

Phoebe absolutely loved the camp...
From a parent's perspective it was very well run, and the teachers were engaged with the kids and responsible.
Thank you!

Great fun & good learning

My son took a one week virtual camp on Python. He absolutely loved it and learned lots.
At then end of each day, he could not wait to tell me all about it, every detail!
It was a small group and the tutor was also very engaging. Great experience which I recommend.

Roblox Developer Part1

My son thoroughly enjoyed this course. He looked forward to this each day and he was productively engaged each afternoon. The tutor was very attentive, knowledgable and patient.

Great fun and learned a lot

My son enjoyed the course very much, the tutor was excellent and the small class of 6 was a suitable number. He enjoyed the content and has certainly learned a lot about coding. He's keen to do more!

Great, educational and fun course

Thank you FunTech - Charlie hugely enjoyed his course. Aidan, the teacher was patient and great with the kids and Charlie had a brilliant time and learnt lots. The Support Team also checked in on us if they felt we needed help. Would definitely recommend.

Great course

Thank you FunTech, Will had a great time. The course was engaging and gave my son the opportunity to learn a new coding programme to a depth he wouldn’t have got at school. Lovely tutor too.

Mindcraft coding

Thank you so much. After a few technical setting ins - Adin very much enjoyed his summer online camp week with you! All the very best - Katarina

Endless hours of fun

Our son is a huge Minecraft fan, but had never been intrigued to attend any camp until this one. He loved every second of it and is begging to take Part 2!

Fabulous camp idea!

My 8yo loves Minecraft but I wanted his screen time to be more productive. This was the ultimate “learn through play” camp for him, and he scored it 20/10!!! I thought 3.5hrs might be too long but if his attention did wander the tutor was great at pulling him back in. We had one incident where ...

My 8yo loves Minecraft but I wanted his screen time to be more productive. This was the ultimate “learn through play” camp for him, and he scored it 20/10!!!
I thought 3.5hrs might be too long but if his attention did wander the tutor was great at pulling him back in. We had one incident where he got upset and wouldn’t talk to anyone. The tutor Christopher discreetly contacted head office who called me repeatedly until I answered. This was hugely appreciated and I felt the team really cared. I was working from home so was then able to go and get my child sorted. 200% recommend! We will be back for the advanced level camp soon.

My son thoroughly enjoyed the course and was very happy with the balance between tutor's demonstration of concepts, having a go at developing and playing the games. He was well supported when he got stuck and very excited about knowing the unreal engine concepts and being able to design various levels of a given game tutorial. We will definitely be back for the advance stage and my son will surely sing of his epic adventure with funtech..

My son took part in the 3D Game design virtual week course. He thoroughly enjoyed it, and was engaged throughout and has developed new skills and confidence while completing the course. The course has ignited his imagination and boosted his enthusiasm for game design. The tutor was very supportive, knowledgeable and competent and inspirational. On the final day doing their individual projects it would have been nice for the students to have enough time to show each other their game design to see how others had used the course to develop their own game ideas. Overall, the course was a huge success and I would definitely recommend it to those interested in game design.

Great systems in place for virtual teaching. We had no issues with connection.

My 12 year old daughter found the course useful, but as she was the only girl she did find it a little bit isolating at times. We definitely need more girls getting involved with this as it seems to be a very male dominated activity.

Unfortunately there were a few occasions throughout the course where the usual tutor was absent, through no fault of FunTech, they had to arrange some cover, which they did quickly and kept me informed when having to do so.

Had many calls from FunTech throughout the two week course to see how my daughter was getting on, it was reassuring to know that they wanted her to have a good experience and to see whether there was anything that could be done to improve it.

I have no doubt that we will be booking onto another course in the future.

Excellent week of learning

My son had a great week extending his coding knowledge. I am grateful that Funtech keep extending the syllabus so that he can do a new course each summer.

3D Gaming

My son really enjoyed the 2 week (half day) virtual course on 3D gamning with Unreal engine. Funtech asked for a bit of pre-course prep from me as a parent (checking Broadband speed and computer spec - it was all reasonable to ask and fairly straightforward) and took 2x20mins.

We used childcare vouchers to pay (you need to pay upfront by card but then we got the money back quickly from Funtech once the childcare scheme had sent their payment). Without this option I do not think we would have booked the course.

Overall I was impressed with how my son remained engaged over the whole two weeks and he seems to have retained a real interest in the subject and learned other transferable skills. The person running the course seems to have struck a good balance between moments where they are all chatting and others when they are progressing the specific course elements.

Overall very good and certainly a good review from my son.
