The teachers were so friendly and helpful. They went over the most important aspects in cybersecurity. My kids learnt a lot. However, Arar has experienced bullying from the two boys who are 14 and 15r years old. The problem is that the trainers have no control on the students in class which may c...

I am really sorry for this experience.
We had a couple of characters in the class that were definitely challenging.
I believe that your son had a recurring disagreement with one of these characters.
The action we took was the HQ team spoke directly to these children and their parents.
When on the next day this did not improve we split the class and made sure they were kept separated at breaktimes.
After which I believe the problem was resolved.

My daughter Bethan had a great experience at the above course. The instructor (Jamie I think it was) was very patient and had a good balance between discipline and fun. The only feedback I could see was that the waiting /lunch room felt a bit stuffy during that particular week. The lady who's in ...

Sadly the week was extremely hot and so we didn't want the children out in the blazing lunchtime sun. We tried our best by having 1 fan per two students but it was still extremely hot.
There was a slight dip on the last day with the Internet, however, we are at the behest of the schools Internet and thankfully the dip only lasted an hour.
I shall go back and speak to the team at Barbican to see if her game is still on our computer and if so we will send you a copy.
Delighted to hear that she had a great experience and look forward to seeing you again next year.

Thomas really enjoyed this and learnt a lot. He’s continuing to practise at home over the holidays.
He did find the first day very slow, so maybe the pace needs to move faster or be more practical to improve it.
FunTech Response
This is a common concern for children who have had some experience, but it is extremely important to get all the students on the same page on the first day, before we can start picking up the pace for the remainder of the week.
Am pleased to hear that Thomas really enjoyed the course and learnt alot.

pros: great teacher (very patient) interesting topic, and lots of linux skills learnt.
cons: annoying kids in the class and in the break room , needed more managing.(2 break rooms) Computers could be ridiculously slow at times, otherwise the course was great.
FunTech Response
We have a mix of children in the group, some who were super excited, who I think you are referring to.
When running various programs especially for hacking, these can take a while to run through to find the correct code.
Glad you found it an interesting topic.

The camp was super fun.
The tutorial videos were a bit lagy though and for the metasploit exercises it didn't specify what we had to do which made our teacher very confused and frustrated. Overall great camp.
FunTech Response
The video's may have lagged due to the internet connect at the time.
Sorry about the metasplot exercise, I shall pass this onto our development team to check.
Glad to hear hear you thought that overall the camp was great!
