Amazing Course

This is an amazing course. It helps us learn how to truly hack. It also teaches us how to protect ourselves against hackers. I will consider to do another course. Although, it had some problems with unmannered peers. Although we still learned the whole course and it was amazing. Thank you!

Fun course, good for all ages.

I would recommend this course to everyone that enjoys fun, good learning to fun balance.

Fun and Educational

Very excellent blend of fun with education. I am learning a ton about hacking and cyber security while also enjoying my week.

Nice tutors

Fabian is a super nice and friendly tutor and I have overall had a great experience with support from my teachers when I didn't understand. I have learnt a lot and fully recommend the experience

My son Hari enjoyed the cyber course, it seemed to live up to his expectations

Having visited the venue at pickup, the venue marred from expectations, the rooms had little natural light and the kids didn't seem to have outside space to hang out in. I appreciate that it was completely to do with Covid and hopefully next year you will be able to run things in the school camp at Westminster.

Our very best to you and the team

My 12 year old son attended the cyber security Hackathon course this summer. He is not the easiests child to get to attend holiday camps and so we were a bit apprehensive as to how it would go. However, he really loved the course! He found it just about the right level of challenge but also great fun. My son really liked the course leader who really 'knew his stuff' but was also fun and engaging.
We had a few issues before the course started about course venue etc and these were all sorted out very efficiently by the Fun tech team. Overall our experience with Fun tech has been extremely positive and we would definitely look at booking courses in the future.

Divya was delighted to have completed the Cyber Hackathon course. Even though it was hard in the beginning for her(she has just completed year 8), the staff happily went over it again and again and she was understood the course and was very happy to do it.
She is considering a career in Cyber Security, so this course has laid a good groundwork in that journey.
As parents, we were happy with the course, location, facilities and friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Hackathon - Cyber Security camp

Eric really enjoyed his week at funtech. The staff members were patient and understanding with him. He learned alot too. We rated it 10 out of 10.

Happy teenager

My 15 year old son initially did not want to attend this summer camp. He reluctantly agreed to try the first day, and was adamant that he would stay home for the rest of the week. But he ended up completing the whole 5 days, and is now considering switching his PC from Windows to Linux :-)

A week of hacking

The course was fun, structured and interesting. I learnt how to use Linux, hack servers and crack passwords

hackathon

I found the hackathon very fun, and it was nice learning about the Linux terminal.

Good camp

Excellent camp and teachers, very good explanations of everything and a lot of fun. Some problems, but those were sorted out shortly

Very Good!

I really enjoyed this week, and our instructor Joe was incredibly helpful and kind. I will100% recommend this course to my friends. It has been my favorite camp by far. Thank you Joe and the FunTech team for such a good time!!!

Sorta fun but learned a lot.

I learned a lot from this course about cybersecurity and hacking and made friends who have similar interests. I recommend this to teens and tweens who love tech and want to push themselves and stay safe at the same time.

Joe is a very good teacher.

Lessons have been easy and simple to understand. As said before, Joe is a very good teacher and deserves a promotion.
Thank you for listening to my TED talk.

Gandalf

Tim is cool
Joe is also cool

Overall of the week

I really enjoyed learning about all of the linux kali commands and Joe is cool and Rick astley is cool

Very memorable

Coding was really interesting and I can use Linux now. Our teacher was really funny and had a good sense of humour. Joe is cool

I wanted to hack the minecraft kids

the course was very good we learned a lot but i think we could have put our new skills to good use by working as a team of hackers to hack the Minecraft kids as our show and tell

hackathon

it was very fun ad structured, it was fun to learn about hacking and all the methods, i will sign up for future courses

Hackathon

It was interesting and had lots of practical stuff in it.

Good course

Fun

Very fun and technical

The Best Cybersecurity Course Out There!!!

The accomplished tutor has guided us through the ravines of Kali Linux, Vegan Beef and HAIL HYDRA throughout this week long course. The Distinguished tutor has left us with a greater understanding of the threats and vulnerabilities we face in the modern world nowadays and how to prevent them from affecting us. This kind gesture has taught us how vulnerabilities are exploited to gain access to others computers and steal information. The course was really engaging and an educational, productive and fun way to spend a week. I would rate this course 11/10!!!

it was fun

I enjoyed learning about ip addresses, how to hack in to servers and Linux terminal.

(^_^) it was good

It was very fun and I enjoyed it alot. The thing i enjoyed the most was learning how to scan for ip addresses.

Funtech is an exceptional company and personally, I genuinely enjoyed doing the Cybersecurity Hackathon course for several reasons. Not only was the tutor excellent, by helping us out considerably when stuck, but it
was engaging and taught me new skills that enhanced my computer science experience.
1. Learning how to ethically hack was interesting as we were starting to explore the darker side to technology and what to be wary of, e.g viruses and how people can crack your passwords
2. My tutor kept the lesson engaging by ensuring that we all understood the work as well as giving us useful tips and fun facts throughout the week
3. As the course wasn't overly easy or hard, I felt as if we were being challenged enough to learn useful skills from the course but at the same time it wasn't impossible to complete.
4. By learning how to execute commands like nmap, ping, grep, ifconfig, we also learnt how to apply it in real life scenarios and it also meant that we can look out for any weaknesses of the code and any way hackers could potentially hack into.
By the end of this course, I am proud to admit that I have all the skills a hacker would need but I have learnt to use them safely and in legal purposes only. This course will be exponentially useful to me in the future as I begin to learn more about coding and computers and head into the workplace.
Who knows? Maybe one day I will look back and realize that my love for coding stemmed from Funtech?
Having taken several Funtech courses since the age of 9, I believe that the course I have just completed was my favourite as it was not just educational, but fun as well.
The lead tutor deserves credit for managing all the behind the scenes work as well as making my time here enjoyable as well as joining our whole group in several games of cards. (always fun!)

Over the duration of this onerous but edifying and enriching course, our tutor, Dr. D, was extremely engaged, and effervescing with jubilant exultation, with an incandescent, flamboyant passion for the topic. He clearly elucidated the complex subject matters covered by this intriguing programme of study with great delineation, synchronous to the contemporaneous context of the lesson. The undercurrent of this tutorial period was one of intricate instruction and meticulous guidance from an educator with fervent and unbifurcated vision of accomplishment. Some of the areas of cyber-security covered over this week included: Vegan Beef and Hydra. Dr. D was infused with incredulous intellectual devotion and assisted us in the discovery of the espionage of the notorious FunTech Overlords, and of their discreet and inconspicuous recording devices. The lead-tutor at this camp also managed to teach us a Taiwanese card game that transformed into a contest.

In camp we learnt a lot. we did a lot of work. it was fun but still very challenging. omar was very nice and really helped me understand hacking

A brilliant course describing computer functions, hacking protocols, navigating computers and finding passwords. Everything about it is AMAZING but does require lots of attention. The teachers that I had (Peter and Omar) were excellent, they were fun but also conveyed information effectively and spoke to you instead of playing the videos. Overall, GREATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

The first day i found to be quite hard and could not keep up. I found that it was very hard. The second day Tuesday we started learning skills that i could understand and i gained a natural rhythm of how to get in a computer, and i became able to to take the passwords off the computer. Wednesday i could decode coded passwords. This is written Thursday and today have learnt how to upload viruses.
Over time this camp became better and i had a lot of fun.

Very Technical (in a good way)

It is a very interesting camp with new ways to learn different ways to use the computer. Hacking is very useful in ways to learn how to protect yourself, and maybe become a professional hacker. It is an educational, interesting, and technical camp.

Interesting

Overall it was enjoyable and very interesting, as it was nothing like what i thought hacking to be like - in a good way. However it wasn't super exciting and mind blowing, which is obviously inevitable as it isn't a sport camp etc. I do recommend

The course was very enjoyable and it taught me a lot about cyber security.

The camp was great. I enjoyed coming here everyday and I learned a lot. It was a really good experience and I would love to do it again if I can. I had a lot of fun but at the same time learned a lot, I did find it challenging at some points and I think I would've found it even harder if I wasn't here. I love it and hope to come back again.
