It was a very effective year

Last year I had no idea how to code a thing, coming to Funtech, I now know so much to do with coding. Funtech has given me an opportunity to create games, draw things using a mouse, and learn how to define functions all by code. I now realise that there is so much to coding. My favourite part of the

I enjoyed this course and my favourite topic was Adobe Photoshop, as I learnt lots of things I can use in school and in general for editing photos. It was difficult to use at the start and very easy to get confused, but now I can make and edit photos. I liked Illustrator and the skills we learnt we

A Great Introduction to C++

Throughout the year we learnt all the essentials of C++ in an engaging way and it is a great basis to go off for future personal projects. You are always able to ask questions or ask for extra help/clarification when needed.

I enjoyed the PureCoder Level 1 course, as it covered all of the basics and some more advanced parts that would help me on my journey learning Python. The software was easy to install and use, and the kind support from the instructors and other members of staff caused it to amount to a great course.

The only negative thing is that the lessons should be more shorter

FunTech Response


The reason the lessons are longer is because you are doing a Fast Track course where you are going at double the pace of the Standard Tracks.

Let's review this for the up coming Autumn term.

Good course

The content of this course was interesting and I learned how to code a lot of different elements such as creating a server and clients.
Each lesson was a little bit too short for the content we had to cover so we were sometimes behind the unit number

FunTech Response


I believe the group had a lot of questions and as such the group were behind.

That said, we extended the lessons and added some prep sessions so all content was successfully covered by the end of the course.

Looking at the groups end of term test results, due to the intense questioning, your group were in the top ten of all students at FunTech! 

Pays to ask questions in class! 

Can't believe the upcoming year will be the 7th year for you at FunTech!

See you in September!

I believe that you fell behind on a few homework assignments, which then resulted in these having to be redone, which I can appreciate can be demotivating.

The reason we ask for feedback after each session, is to ensure that you have fully understood what has been taught, if not of course we would book a 1-2-1 prep session for you.

Interesting but difficult

An interesting course about gaming in python but a lot of code needs to be memorised. Quite a bit of content and time needs to be spent learning it all. It is very intriguing to learn.

FunTech Response


The previous 3 years of courses that you have done with us are about learning Python and Python OOP.

This course teaches how to implement those skills in building a game engine, which is challenging.

However, I can see that you have not completed any of your Consolidate IT challenges which are available after class, and their objective is to help you consolidate what you covered in class.

Next year I would highly recommend that you complete these as C++ will be even more challenging :)
