My child really enjoyed the course and learnt a lot.
Initially, the group was too big with not enough trainers, which made it difficult to progress. One yp had special needs and was sometimes disruptive to the rest of the group. Would have been better to have additional trainers. That being said, course was still great. Thank you

Class was challenging at times for my 7yo as not used to focus on a class for half a day but managed through it. Some days the content seemed more interesting to her hence a good half day other times mostly at beginning she had more difficulty staying on the course topic.
The trainer had immense patience with her and the others in the class.
Warmly recommend it.
Mine wanted me around her whilst she did the class but every child is different.

My son found Python- Level 1 easy so we had to contact Funtech in a hurry. At 9 on the following morning, the worker was very professional and kind, asking Eric a series of questions to judge his caliber for his second level. All was fine.

The teacher was nice and kind to him and he helped my son efficiently. So effectively that my son told me 'we are covering enough of Python this week to last me to next year: his final GCSE computing exam.

Funtech is worth every penny I pay. Keep up the good work

I recommend this class to get a base understanding of Roblox. Audrey played a bit so I thought it would be good for her to learn the basics.

It’s great to see the creativity that went into her final project. She is still working on it and creating other Roblox worlds. She is also teaching me how to do it.

She had a good time and would love to do the next course.

My 9 year-old-son was extremely excited at the prospect of a whole week with masses of screen time, and he was delighted with the activities taught on this course! The work was well-structured and very well explained, because the class sizes were small, as promised. I thought he would be very tired, but each day he came home fizzing with energy and wanting to tell me about his achievements that day. The team sensibly supported the children to take plenty of breaks out of doors throughout the day, so there was no problem with the screen time involved. He really wants to do one again!

My 11-year-old daughter thoroughly enjoyed this course. It was a well-balanced blend of skills teaching alongside enough free-building opportunities that she felt like she was playing more than being 'schooled'. Her speed of building improved significantly because of the new techniques she learned, enabling her to attempt more ambitious projects (e.g. the whole of Hogwarts). The team also did an excellent job of entertaining children during breaks outside, so there was no problem with eye strain or restlessness across the week. She's very keen to come back on a future camp!

Python coder school holiday course

My son thoroughly enjoyed his time at FunTech and on this course. The instructor was very helpful and small class sizes a big plus. I would recommend for anyone who would like to introduce their child to Python & general coding concepts.

Shomi's FunTech Review

Thank you for the week of learning. Shomi really enjoyed his time and all the learning during this years Hackathon camp.

He is looking forward to his next opportunity to attend another session of learning. Thank you.

OOP Python - A brilliant next step course

This was my son's third course with Funtech. Support for the set up ahead of the course was brilliant and everything ran smoothly. He had a fun week and managed to progress a project he has been working on with some new ideas from the instructor as well as completing the coursework. Thank you.

A great camp

Noaz very much enjoyed his time at the camp. Thank you for putting on such an enriching experience.

The best of both worlds

My son loves Funtech courses. It keeps me happy because I know he’s having a positive educational experience and for my son he enjoys making new friends, learning and building on the computers and running and climbing about at play time. It’s the perfect mix!

3D Games Design

We had amassed a large amount Childcare Vouchers over the past few years, which we needed to off-load before our children got too old. We were looking for something that might be appropriate for our son, who is 11, loves gaming, and has been looking for a way to level-up from Scratch and Roblox for a while now - and this seemed to fit the bill. He was a bit dubious at first though - "this feels a bit like school" - he said when I dropped him off on the first day, and he had a point. When I picked him up at the end of the first day, he was very tired - it was a long day for him. He told me it was "good", but the last two hours were a bit boring. I started to get a bit worried about the rest of the week. When I picked him up at the end of the second day he was much happier and told me that he didn't get bored at the end of the day this time. On the third day, he was tired, but absolutely buzzing when I picked him up, and he was surprised at how fast the day had gone. By Thursday he was really into it, and was telling me all about the game he was making which had 5 different endings. At the end of Friday we had a show-and-tell, where the children were able to show their parents what they had made, and transfer their projects onto USB thumb-drives to take home with them.

Overall I think our son was very happy with the experience, and he has learnt a lot - I think I will have to try and get him to teach me some Unreal now. Thank you!

Christopher has a great time. The course is very engaging and he learnt a lot in a week course. He was so excited every morning and ready for the camp.

Supportive staff and tutors. He has made new friends . I would recommend the course .

good experience with FunTech

My son is enjoying the course. The teacher is enthusiastic and professional in teaching. Class size is small, so each student can receive sufficient support. The teacher frequently checked if students understand or able to follow up. I would recommend this course to my friends.

Java

Andy enjoyed his virtual camp. He learned a new coding skill and he is confident that it will be useful in his computer studies in school. He had a Great teacher and she was very patient! Thank you.

Python - Coder virtual camp

It's a great camp to introduce the python code to young children. Tutor even offered additional Q&A session to help my boy, which is very kind. It will help the children revise the new knowledge if small assignment can be provided after each session.

Thank you.

I think this course has been a great success for my son and although the first few days he found the content easy he soon settled in and it has cemented his knowledge which we wanted to make sure we could do. The tutor Sam impressed me as he had to deal with younger students and my son at the same time but he managed the age gap and gave my son different tasks as he realised maybe my son needed a bit more to do at times. He was professional at all times and the whole course was prompt and well managed.
We are doing 2 more courses and my son is looking forward to progressing with Funtech’s help.

This is our third virtual camp, and there will be a fourth.
It is well priced , well organised and well run. Our 11 year old son loves it and it is an educational break from other activity holiday camps.
If I had one criticism it would be that sometimes the responses to technical queries can take a few days, but this has so far not causes any problems.

Roblox Gaming

My 9 year old absolutely loved this course and would race to the computer before the start of the lessons each day and excitedly share with me all that she’d learnt. The teacher really engaged her and I’d highly recommend.

Many apologies for our failure to provide feedback so far. I promise we will. It has just been a rather hectic summer and we’ve not made the time to sit down with Phoebe to write some feedback together. She is currently away with her grandparents in Wales, but I will aim to get this sorted out at the weekend. I should add that Phoebe had a brilliant time and benefitted a great deal from the two courses. We thought the instructors were excellent and everything was well organised, so thank you!

My son loves the Funtech sessions. This year he attended 3D game design which he enjoyed. As a parent, I would make the following observations:

-The course is quite expensive but worthwhile. However, I do think a USB could have been included
- I think the end of course certificate would have more value if they were handed out in class
- A car drop off facility would determine if I book a certain venue. Really don't want to seek and pay for a parking space to drop off a child

What's great;
- The administration of the course is always very thorough and timely
- The course content and topics are very engaging
- This is one of the few clubs that pre-teen/teen boys want to do, so well done in capturing that market
- I like the fact that you employ young people to run the courses. They engage better with teenagers who think they are hanging out with an older friend rather than going to school!

Cali had a wonderful time. At first we were concerned that 5 days of 9am-5pm would be too a bit too long for her to do the same thing….but how wrong were we!!! She absolutely loved it, I do not think I have ever seen her so happy at the end of a long day. She said one of her favourite things about the instructors were how patient they were.

We will definitely be sending her back for more sessions next summer.

Dima was really looking forward to the Python course last week as he had told you himself few weeks ago. But almost right after our conversation he ended up in the hospital for an urgent operation - his recovery had certain complications and it was only yesterday when he had returned home. He was extremely frustrated by this but the life can be unpredictable…

My wife notified your team about this development just before the start of his course since we were hoping that he would recover faster. She was advised to get in touch with the insurance company you deal with for these matters for the reimbursement.

I hope Dima’s final recovery at home will be way faster now and he will be back to a 100% activity level very soon. He is asking about the online courses already - a very good sign! And we’ve got your update on this very recently.

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 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.

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.
