Incredible course, 10/10 would learn again

Over the course of the 5 days that I spent doing Funtech's cybersecurity course, I learnt many useful skills that will help me out greatly in the future. The course was great, but wasn't too difficult thanks to the generous breaktimes and lunchtimes that we had. Would code again!

The course taught a great range of skills useful for ethical hacking, varying from password cracking to how computers communicate and how to intercept files. One of the best features of the course was that there are many different ways of going about the tasks. The tutors were helpful and always knew how to work around any problems. Abul however was very egotistical about his beard and smell. Overall it was a great course to learn the basics of hacking.

it was nice

it was a really nice course but is was frustrating at some times and i am not allowed to put up my hood on a hoody :(

THE END.

Very good would recommend

It was very nice, both tutors were very nice and helpful they helped me with the tasks and explained excellently! The breaks were fun and we played some fun games. I really enjoyed this camp and would recommend it to others!

I'm not really a title man.

Yeah it was good tutors are good course was good. I now can finally get my dads admin password.

I really enjoyed the practical, academic side of this camp. It was complex, stimulating, and the subject material was fascinating. I feel I have learnt a lot over the course of the week that I will be able to take forward with me, both career and school wise, but also about online safety in general. The group size was also perfect for the activity.
Tom was also a really good teacher, and made sure to give us each enough time to finish, and answering all our -occasionally quite random -queries.
the only downside I have was that on the first day, i felt slightly uncomfortable, as there was no ice-breaker to help me connect with the other kids on the course. I think, in future, giving up part of the day just to get to know a bit more about everyone else would be useful. In addition, at times I felt like i really needed to just go outside and take a break rather than being glued to the screen, so possibly during the breaks leaving the room and enforced away-from-the-laptop times would be brilliant.

Overall, however, this was an excellent camp and experience, and I'd very happily return to Funtech and do a different course.

Really intresting

I learned a lot during the week.

hackathon

great camp i liked it i got to learn lots of thing i did not know

Good course for people who have passion for cyber security.

I think the course is very fun. It is filled with very easy to understand topics which we could use. Anything that we didn't understand our tutor would help us.

I would recommend this to other people who would want to go into cyber security.

Loved it

THe course was great and informative, i learned lots!

boring at the beginning but got better

very grindy at the beginning but i learnt a lot and i had fun and was very hard

Excellent

Lots of new stuff learned. My son really enjoyed the week.

Hacking swimmingly

I have done 2 Funtech courses in the past and undoubtedly this has been the best camp I have done so far. Some concepts are sometimes difficult to grip but after a while you get used to them. Lewis has been amazing at teaching this topic. I am going to embrace on what I have learnt and use it much more. I enjoyed finding the passwords and getting into the terminals the most. I would happily do another camp again (if I am old enough)

i learned to hack!!!

it was very interesting as i got to learn to hack and it was very indulging and the tutor was very good

it was nice

but to be honest we used a different software that most of us don't use because lets be honest were are all windows users it would have a better rating if we learnt some windows codes but further than that it was cool

Great

It was educational. I learnt about basic commands on the command prompt, how to crack passwords and how to hack into another server. The teacher was very friendly and good at teaching us how to hack. The course was overall very fun.

amazing week and had great time

had an amazing week and it was very educational

amazing use of my holiday

i felt like this course was very educational but i feel like it can get very tiring after a couple days

Really fun and enjoyed it

I was next to a living god named Toby

A great and glorious entity called Toby was in my classroom. He clearly had intellect beyond human capabilities, his power is unmeasured. I am so glad I have been graced with an entity as kind and benevolent as Toby. Toby is clearly the greatest being who has ever lived. For instance, if ask Toby, which I will do now, what his favorite snack is, he replies "beef," clearly Toby is referring to slang word for arguments, and that solving conflict is the only nourishment he needs, what a god.

The course is great and teaches you a lot about hacking in the real world. It is very interesting and there is a lot of amazing things to learn, I definitely recommend this to other younger children who are interested in the world of hacking and coding . It supplies you with all you need and gives you breaks to relax and chill away from the computers and they give you enough time to learn it.

Fantastic experience!

I have learnt so much in the course and now I am now able to hack into computers! Even though the course was quite challenging It was amazing to see the outcome of when I executed a command! I would definitely recommend it for those who are willing to learn how to hack!

Interesting

This course was very interesting and I have learnt a lot . This course has improved my confidence in my computer skills a lot and has challenged me. Overall, it was a very good course!

Cyber Security: Hackathon

A very good course. A lot of content which can be used in the real world which can lead to a job in the real world. It is challenging so it is probably easier if you have done another funtech before this to help you understand some of the concepts.

Great

I learnt a lot during this course... would definitely recommend this for other children interested into hacking into other computers etc.
One thing i would change: If there are two tutors, split the group into two groups on the SECOND day not the fourth.

Good Learning Experience

Throughout the week I learnt a series of different exploits , commands and other Linux programs .
I learnt allot and would truely recommend it to other young people who are aspiring to learn more about computers.

Hackathon

You get to hack into different virtual machines and use exploits

great fun

this camp was really fun but i was really hard even on the first day but the outcomes were awesome and it was really cool. Its such a cool camp but challenging but i recommend it

excellent

it is fun but it is very hard so when i don't understand it it can be confusing.

An amazing week

It was good and i enjoyed it however i think the days were a bit too long and it should only run for max 7 hours. Apart from that the teachers were exceptional and they should be given a promotion frankly especially Sam and Daruis .

An amazing week

at the start it was hard but it became a lot easier when we split into groups and got more attention. An amazing and funny week.

Cyber Security Review

we did very interesting stuff related to hacking and many different ways to hack into machines. the teachers were nice and the breaks were long enough, the best thing in the breaks was shooting footballs :)

Cyber Security Review

I didn't really actually understand anything on this course but apart from that, the teachers, Darius, Sam, were nice the students were nice who were at the camp and the break times were enjoyable. 3.5 stars

this particular course was a technological breath of air, with its multiple peaks and troughs, however the former vastly outnumbered the latter, i now have an unending love for spider man, which has little to no connection with this course, however it was fun and pretty striking, and i has left me in awe, i have also grown antlers

Difficult but Amazing

I thoroughly enjoyed my week at funtech. Everyone was really friendly and kind and although there were some technical issues throughout the week we all caught up with our tutors superb teaching. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in cyber security and fun!

it was interesting

it was hard but it was really awsome

Very good but quite fast paced course about cyber security and hacking

a very good course overall

Great hacking experiance

The hackathon course is an amazing course to do and I would highly recommend it because it teaches you how to hack in many different ways and lots of techniques how to do it. I absolutely loved it

Very Fun and Informative course!

I found my week at the cyber security hackathon very fun in the classroom and outside I learned a lot from this course and would definitely come again. Our tutor Laura was really nice and helped a lot if was stuck and made the course very interesting and fun.

Hard But Great

Extremely Advanced & Hard To Follow But Overall Very Good!

Great

Peter was very helpful , hardworking and encouraging. He helped us all progress and get through our course.

My experience at fun tech

this is an amazing camp. i really liked learning how to hack. the other students were all really nice. Although my tutor was annoyingly sarcastic at times i did learn a lot. I can't wait until i get back next year.

Banging

Brilliant course, really enjoyed

Best camp

This was a fun week that I really enjoyed

Very funny and i learned very much

The course was fantastic. I learned a lot and I enjoyed myself immensely!

Great Course!

This was very fun, I loved every moment, although the breaks could potentially have been shorter. I would highly recommend this course.

I really enjoyed this course. The content of each day is great and there is always something new to learn. I especially liked the use of open-source software so that I can continue using the tools after the course without spending lots of money. The class sized are great for productivity aswell. Although, I found the speed of the lessons are quite slow and I noticed that we did not always finish the coursework for the day before the end and had to finish the next day. Also, I think that there should be step-to-step tutorials for the excercises as the videos and task lists did not give enough help to understand that is needed. Great for intermediate students but not great for beginners. Great overall though.

Covered a lot of content

Learnt a lot of methods about getting into servers, how data can be stolen and crack passwords. Happy with what we covered in 5 days

Very Fun, Very Informative

I like this course a lot. my only problem is the length of the breaks. after 20 minutes of either of the two 30 minute breaks you want to come back in and do more work. Other than that it is great.

Very good, funny informative and helpful
