OOP Day camp

Our son enjoyed this course, once again. This year he has also hugely enjoyed the residential experience in Tonbridge.
He would like to come again next year for another course! Thank you to Funtech for this wonderful course.

Python - OOP

Vincent and I had a few chats online in the evenings. It means so much to be able to stay in touch.

We really enjoyed ourselves. It is brilliant that he is learning Python. I told him if he combines that with SQL, he is well on his way to always being solvent and able to work remotely internationally in any specialist field of his choice. The main thing is, Vincent had lots of fun and was thrilled to learn.

He spoke highly of the teachers and clearly enjoyed the company of his new found mates.

He did express one oddity to me and it's truth made me laugh. Vincent loves computers and modern technology. He experiences reasons to limit on screen time. At FunTech it was unfettered freedom to fully immerse into the universe that exist on screen with like minded everyone around him and without time limit.

Sheer bliss and freedom...

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.

Excellent as usual!

Both my 10 year old and 7 year old completed the Roblox Designer camp this summer, after my eldest completed Minecraft Mod developer last year. They were delighted with the content, learned a lot and couldn’t contain their enthusiasm to show me their designs at the end of each day. Needless to say, they are already discussing which Funtech course to do next. Staff were friendly and helpful and the girls loved their instructors. Look forward to next summer!

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.

Interesting course with great instructors

My 12 year old daughter and her friend thoroughly enjoyed the course with good care and coaching from the FunTech instructors. Highly recommended. Great accommodation for working parents.

FunTech Review

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

It was time well spent during holidays.

I will be booking more sessions with funtech

Best so far

This is the second Funtech course that my daughter has done. The first (2 years ago) was good, but this time was much better.

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.

It was a great experience for my son

I was nervous leaving my 11 year old for a week long trip but the staff (shoutout to Anil) were very helpful and assuaged my fears about the doors being unlocked.

I was nervous leaving my 11 year old for a week long trip but the staff (shoutout to Anil) were very helpful and assuaged my fears about the doors being unlocked. The course tutor was very knowledgeable and Ismail picked up some great new skills which can be transferred to every day life as well. He is now a more responsible person and makes his own bed, switches off lights and picks up after meals by himself. I think this trip was very good for him because it taught him the importance of independence and taking responsibility for his actions. He made two games and a whole host of new friends. I will definitely be looking to send him again.

I would also like to say thank you to the staff who comforted Ismail when he was feeling homesick and let me speak to him when I was missing him too!

One little thing I would mention is to have better signposting when parents come to collect kids. We didn’t have any clue where to go or where to collect the suitcases from. Apart from that I can’t fault the programme in any way. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.

Good fun

My daughter had a fun time learning about coding in python and enjoyed the social activities too. A good way to spend a week of the holidays.

Laurent already submitted his review as participant. From the parents' point of view, the camp site (Tonbridge School) is beautiful and inspiring, the organisation of the camp (before and during) is functional and responsive, the instructions to prepare for the camp were clear, putting us in confidence that our son would have a safe and fun time learning programming. The technical learning was complemented by interesting and new (e.g. scuba diving) group activities, encouraging social interactions. The instructors prevented distraction by locking away his phone and restricting web access.

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.

Roblox Game Developer

My son had a fantastic week learning how to create and sign Roblox games - highly recommend!

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.

Minecraft - Redstone Engineer

Super course, friendly staff, my son couldn't wait to get there each day.

Python OOP course at LVS

My daughter really enjoyed the course and came away with a good understanding of the material. The instructor was particularly helpful and took the time to make sure everything was explained well.

Roblox developer day camp

Excellent camp, quite a good balance between learning and fun time

A great camp with amazing instructors

My son did the Minecraft and Roblox camps for the second time and he loved every minute. The instructors were fun, attentive and very switched on. My son has already asked me to book for next time. Thank you Funtech!

Cybersecurity Hackathon

This was great for my daughter of 16yrs. It was very engaging. She came home feeling tired. She learnt about vulnerabilities and a bit about using linux and VMs and networking. The instructors were good.

Excellent IT camp

My son did 3D Game Design developer course this week.
He enjoyed it and was engaged everyday.
He felt tired after the full day.
Perhaps longer breaks for full day course might be considered.
I will definitely recommend the camp to friends and colleagues.

Mod Developer Part 1

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

Great day camp in the heart of the City!

My son thoroughly enjoyed his camp

My son has already asked if he can do another Funtech camp next year. He learnt a great deal in a week and wants to carry on using Python. The tutor to pupil ratio was excellent and the instruction very helpful. We felt the camp overall was well run and a safe place for our child to be.

A brilliant time at Minecraft day camps

My 8-year-old had an absolute blast at Minecraft day camp.

My 8-year-old had an absolute blast at Minecraft day camp. I was slightly concerned he'd come back a computer zombie after an 8-hour day building mods, but he was energised, and his mind was on fire with ideas when he got home. Every time I came to collect him, the staff were hands-on, helping the children and were really personable. My son said it was one of his favourite bits about the camp, talking to the staff. He learnt a lot about Minecraft and made some friends. It's a strong recommendation from us.

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.

My daughter enjoyed Hackathon very much and felt that she learned a lot during that week. The staff and the instructors were wonderful. My only issue with the Barbican location is that they were stuck indoors the entire day due to the lack of outdoor space. It happened to be one of the hottest weeks of the summer too. Ideally, it would have been great to have some proper screen breaks outside, but I understand why that was difficult, given the location.

Tom had a wonderful few days on the Minecraft Coder camp. He enjoyed all the activities, especially the chance to learn a little diving in the pool. He would have liked to do this all week long, as an addition to the coding! He thought the staff were wonderful. For a child that doesn't like being away from home, he enjoyed himself and in the latter part of the week didn't feel the need to call home in the evening. Thank you for making it such a great experience!
