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 th...

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.

Every day, they were very engaged in the tasks and project which gave a lot of peace to their parents who knew them to be safe and learning while enjoying themselves. We are all looking forward to the next one.

Good week of learning

My daughter enjoyed the virtual club and learning to code.

Awesome!

Helped my son immensely on his coding journey

Great course - excellent teacher

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.

Roblox Camp

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.

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.

Indie Game Developer

Our Daughter enjoyed the course which was delivered over 2 weeks online. During the course, she was getting all the help she needed and was very pleased with the result.

Excellent courses

Our daughter attended two virtual camps at Funtech : Roblox Game Developer and Scratch Coder She had a very good time. She learnt lots of new skills whilst also having fun. The tutors were very attentive and always helpful. Highly recommended.

My son had a great time on this course, he was always keen to start the course every morning and seemed engaged all the way through. The small class sizes really helped in making sure he got the support when he needed it. FunTech support leading up to the course - in terms of assisting with payment via child care vouchers - was excellent.

George loved the course. The tutor was excellent and really engaging and supportive. He's looking forward to the next course already.

Roblox - Game Developer

Excellent!

An Amazing Experience

My daughter enjoyed the course, she learned so much and would definitely continue to complete more courses with FunTech. The teacher was so knowledgeable, professional and the whole experience was so much fun and full of things to learn.

We love FunTech

My son is with them for almost 4 years now, he got A* in A Level.

Nathan really enjoyed the course. I'd have preferred an in person course but there wasn't one available so we went with virtual after the recommendation of a friend. Nathan (10) was able to participate by himself without needing any adult support. I over heard some bits and thought the explanations were very good and the tutor very patient!

My son enjoyed the course.

2nd course , with a different teacher but same excellent tuition keeping my son involved. The teacher also provided an additional session at the start as my son had not grasped some points. Very happy with the course and Teachers.

Rolblox

Rose had a great time during her sessions. It was enjoyable. I recommend this course for any one who has interests in gaming.

Python level 1

Marc enjoyed the course , communications were excellent
Thank you !

Roblox Game Developer

Fantastic course. Natalie really enjoyed it. She has played Roblox for years and it was so good for her to start learning how to make the games herself.

Particular praise for Adrian who ran the course. He was so good with the kids - patient, encouraging, and supportive. A complete superstar.

Very fun experience

Hi FunTech team, it was a great program and we will come back for more! I would love to see some once a week one hour programs for Minecraft too.

Great course, well taught

It was a good course and the teachers was good. Some parts were conceptually hard for my 12 year old to get his head around but that didn’t take away from his enjoyment.

Python Coder

My 13 year old son, while slightly reluctant at first to do a course during the summer holidays, soon became engaged with it and said he learned a lot. He feels this has set him up well to start Year 9/GCSE computer science and also commented that the tutors were very nice.

My son just completed his second year of camps with FunTech and he absolutely loves it. The platform is great, I particularly like how the tutor not only can present the course but also help out on my son's screen at the same time, its almost magic. We've tried other providers but they don't come anywhere near the quality of a FunTech course. Our son learnt loads and was proudly showing off his creations at the end of the session, mobs, epic weapons, weird creatures... doesn't mean a lot to me, but the smile on his face does and his confidence not only on the computer but in a group environment have improved immensely. This year he will also join his older brother on the term time offering which is just as fantastic, wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

He had a wonderful time and looked forward to going every morning. He has been working on his coding outside of the class too, and has learned many new skills.

my 11 year old hugely enjoyed the Python OOP course. It was just the right level of difficulty and he was very proud of himself when he completed the course. As a parent I appreciated the level of support from Funtech. One day my son could not complete the assignment as he missed the instructions. I messaged FunTech on the day, received a call back in the evening and we scheduled a morning catch up for my son with his tutor. problem solved and confidence restored!

My 14 years old boy did the Python OOP virtual camp over two weeks, in the morning, and found it very interesting. He said he would recommend the course and he found that the tutor was explaining very well. It was our first camp and virtual camp with Funtech and we will come back for more. As a parent, I was impressed by their thorough follow up: one morning my son put a comment in his session feedback form about not having understood something and the next minute, I get a phone call from the office to offer a catch up lesson!!! They seriously want every pupil to really and fully understand their daily lesson. A very impressive and professional customer service.

Our son has really enjoyed the Java coding course. It has hugely boosted his confidence and motivated him to learn more. The support from the Funtech team has been outstanding. Incredibly responsive to questions, and really attentive to our son’s progress with the course. The prep session when he fell behind in one lesson was invaluable at keeping him engaged and happy.
We cannot thank the team enough for such a brilliantly run learning experience.
Would highly recommend this to anyone who’s child has an interest in gaming or IT.

My son really had a great experience, learning the fundamentals of Java coding, alongside a group of students from different countries. The course covered the topics well, and places him in a good position to move on to the next level with a solid foundation. I liked that the course was an intensive 2 week program for 3.5 hours a day as that allows the students to focus and get in the zone, and walk away with a good grasp of the basics.
Also, he found it a lot of fun, which is also very important.

My son Jamie (11years old) has just completed the 3D game design course with Funtech and it has been absolutely brilliant! He has enjoyed every second of it and has learnt so much. I cannot fault Funtech. Everyone I have spoken to has been knowledgeable, professional and so helpful... from booking the course, to the technical pre course advice and help (thank you Liam), to the actual teaching of the course with the amazing Adam. Money very well spent and we can’t wait to do another course! Thank you. Rachel (Jamie’s mum)

AI course

My son loved the AI course. He enjoyed learning about neural networks and working on the chatbot.

He thought the tutor was fantastic and was disappointed the course is now complete.

A.I. course

It was a great course and it was really fun at its best points.

engaged teenager

on-line Java course kept my teenager engaged for the whole course. He leant lots. Can't ask for more.

My daughter loves Minecraft and everything about it so when I saw this class on Mods for Minecraft I was immediately interested. The admin team has been great sorting out all questions and guiding me through the booking process. What's great is that you can use your childcare vouchers to pay for the classes. The teacher of the class was great and helped my daughter every time she needed it. She was the youngest in the class so she needed quite a bit of support but FunTech and the teacher were supportive and she managed to complete the class and be even more enthusiastic about Minecraft!

Our 10 year old had a great time at Minecraft mods, he learnt loads and had a lovely social group of kids, so despite being on screen every morning, it was a lovely experience throughout.
The only improvement would be a consent process to allow kids to stay in touch with the others they became friendly with, and develop a group closed game together, both during camp time and subsequently.

My son really enjoyed his Virtual Minecraft course. He learned lots of new skills, including elementary programming, and loved being able to design his own mods. This course kept him entertained whilst we were working from home, and he continued working on his own after the course too. He shared his new mods with us at lunch and in the evenings, and I had to learn a whole new set of Minecraft terminology. I can highly recommend it.

Very engaging program

Although 3.5 hrs daily and virtually, the kids were very focused and engaged, having truly learned in a hands on environment. Strongly recommended.

Alexandra has thoroughly enjoyed Minecraft Redstone. The course was engaging, well organised and well put together. The group size was just right and the tutor was very knowledgeable and competent. This was her first virtual camp having previously done physical camps, but the experience and quality were exactly the same. It is great to have the optionality of both virtual and physical camps and the options of 2 weeks or 1 week of virtual camps.

Outside the camp, the staff at Funtech are always very friendly and extremely helpful, with endless patience for silly IT questions! This is our fifth year of doing Funtech and we are already looking forward to next summer's courses!

The boys thoroughly enjoyed the two weeks of game design. So that’s the main thing! Having done the python coding course last holiday, I was expecting slightly more coding to this course (I believe essentially there was none). I think I had hoped that this would have been a great way to engage the boys in coding, as it would be based on gaming. We will definitely come back for more though, so if you have any bright ideas for the perfect fit, let me know!

A great two weeks!

I was happy to see Kai enjoying the course every day. I would love for Kai to take another course with you in the future.

Fantastic course!

My son absolutely loved this course and the best thing about it was he learned some real engineering concepts, not just pure basic Minecraft. His tutor was excellent and engaging. This is the second course he has done with Funtech and it will not be the last. Thank you Funtech!
