The course was great but what impressed me even more was FunTech's real desire to make sure that every child was on a course for their level, that they were enjoying it and were learning. It was genuine care not a case of taking your money and that was it. My son found his original course too challenging so the Fun Tech team got on the phone and rang me with suggestions for alternatives. They clearly wanted to make it a great experience for him. I wouldn't hesitate to book again with FunTech.

We are not locals in UK, but we managed to enrol our kids for the 2 weeks virtual camp. We are living in Asia. The 9am class was perfect for our kids which was 2pm here.
The tech support was great and prompt in solving any problems we had.
Mike was the teacher for the camp. He was excellent and very patient with the kids. He started off with the basic introduction of Minecraft which was good for kids who hasn't played Minecraft before.
Mike always check that all the children have managed to complete the stage before he goes on to the next step.
My son, Tristan was glad that he learnt to create the elevator which was really cool. This course gave him more insight of what other creations he can do.
Tristan is looking forward to have another virtual camp with Funtech.
Thank you so much.

Python coding - excellent!

Cirrus camp worked very well, and was incredibly convenient, though I think they may have benefitted even more from being on location and having someone literally looking over their shoulder.

I can’t think of a holiday camp the kids have enjoyed more. Cirrus camp worked very well, and was incredibly convenient, though I think they may have benefitted even more from being on location and having someone literally looking over their shoulder. They both thoroughly enjoyed it, and I think it’s been an excellent introduction. We’ll be back for another I’m sure. Many thanks, Geoff

My son says ‘amazing’

In his words “Teacher was nice. It was fun. Helpful teacher. Learnt a lot. Other kids were nice. Can now do lots of loops” (whatever that is!!).
From my point of view, he was happy and engaged and enjoyed each session.

Great course

My son loved the 3D game designer course. He’s 12 and it was just right for him. The tutor guided the children through how to use the software and helped them with anything they got stuck with when designing their own games. The perfect course for creative minds!

3D Game Design

Very useful and enjoyable course

Python

My daughter found this course really engaging and fun. The instructor was very patient and worked to ensure an even pace in the group. She liked creating the games and programmes and sharing her work with the rest of the family.

Minecraft Engineering

Nathaniel absolutely loves Funtech's virtual camps. They are interactive, fun and he gets really excited by what he learns. He is already booked for the next holiday virtual camp!

My son Alex has very much enjoyed the course Roblox Game Developer. It was his second course with Funtech following Python Coder. Alex was really looking forward to learning how to develop a Roblox game. During the course, he learnt everything he needed to know about programming a Roblox game. He did not quite finish creating his first game by the end of the one-week course but he is certainly on track to complete the work on his own. Staff were really helpful and responsive to his needs and wishes on daily basis. Thank you very much!

My son was very keen and had some pre-knowledge, and he really enjoyed it. His interest level was maintained even with differing learning rates with other attendees. Main advice is that the attendee's should expect to bring their own ideas on what to build to improve their enjoyment and learning.

I had two children on the course. It was perfect for my older child (12) who had some Python experience previously, so he enjoyed the new skills learned on this course. I would only recommend this course for younger children if they have the typing skills required and some knowledge of Python as it was a little bit tough for my 10 yo to keep up. He did however, learn about the world of Python and walked away with some amazing new skills to build on but required support from his parents during the week to keep up. Overall, the teachers were very helpful and stepped in every time someone needed help. I would definitely recommend FunTech half-time courses to parents as they a great way to give your children a chance to learn new skills.

Python camp

Stefan enjoyed his python lessons and really determined to finished his python project.

Now in 4th year

Our son is now in his 4th year of doing Term-Time sessions. It is one of the highlights of his week, and has learnt so much. He is only 15, but now doing university level coding.
Wish schools provided this option, as will be a great skill for anyone in the future.

My son Adam has enrolled on to the CreativeTech course this year after attending two camps in the summer. The term time offering is an excellent product with Adam engaged once a week alongside his normal school routine. He's learning how to use Photoshop which is amazing to see, given he is currently being schooled at home due to the lockdown he is still very enthusiastic when it comes to his weekly lessons and has even been able to use these new skills on work this term, producing what he describes as 'sick' leaflets for his space topic!

FunTech has a great blend of content and fun which keeps kids engaged at the course level, and if he doesn't quite get the lesson then he's ha a couple of extra sessions to go over and make sure the content is nailed. Its simply brilliant.

Term time P2 course

My son loves this course. He has learnt lots about python and the teachers are very friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful.

virtual camp

My son really enjoyed the virtual camp.
Very good solution to learn in a fun way during lockdown.
I would recommend.

Minecraft with Mods

Excellent! It's been the second virtual camp my son is doing with Funtech and he loves it.

The most amazing experience!

I have booked half-term virtual camps twice with FunTech, for both my children aged 8 and 13.
The tutors connected really well with both of them.
My boys absolutely loved it and, every day, they could not wait to start their session.
It was educational and fun.
Thank you FunTech Team!

Feedback for Phython

Brandon has enjoyed a lot the course, and has learnt a lot, it was demanding as he had to attend full day training, but at the end he was happy to do.

Alexandra had a very good learning session ! She enjoyed the summer club and the manner of teaching . Thank you Funtech , we will join the term time .

A grateful mum !

* would have preferred two weeks morning only options rather than one week full day option, as it was indeed tiring. Vidya's sister did the camp like that in the easter 2020. we chose this as we did not have a choice. It was a lot of eyesight and lower back strain for the kids, I personally think.
* teacher was excellent. he made the kids engage in discussion and that helped understanding/revision very well
* overall this was a good course that brought a lot of confidence in coding for Vidya.

Python Game Developer camp

My son enjoyed the camp. Since the group were developing quite quick, the instructor introduced more material at the end of the course. Good experience! Highly recommend it!

Fun camp

The Python coder camp was a very fun experience and was very enjoyable.

PureCoder Level 2 Alexander C

Alex has got his enthusiasm back for coding since the 1:1 sessions started. He is enjoying the sessions and appears to have got his confidence back again.

Amazing Classes

My son loves the classes, the teachers are great and very helpful, highly recommended.

Great Camp

My son enjoyed 2 weeks of the Python coding camp. He found it educational and entertaining and emerged a confident coder by the end of the session.
Thank you

My 10 year old enjoyed this course very much. It was structured well and he looked forward to his daily session. He has attention issues and struggles at school, but despite this, managed to engage well with the virtual course and learned a great deal.

We enrolled our son VIR for the Minecraft with mods 2 week summer camp and he enjoyed it so much that we reenrolled him for the next level post that. Not only did he learn a lot but it was a fun experience the entire virtual class. Very well organised and structured and attention was given to details and every child needs.. I remember getting a call back one evening to check on my son Vir as a follow up of what he learnt in class to make sure his query was answered and understanding was clear.
Highly Recommend this camp/class !

Python Coder Camp

Fantastic camp experience. My son really enjoyed the tutor who would stay on the call after camp ended to talk to my son about the challenge tasks. At the end of the course, my son had a real love for Python coding and keen to do more courses. Highly recommend the course.

Excellent

Minecraft with Mods

My daughter attended the two week Minecraft with Mods program. She absolutely loved it (and didn't mind being the only girl!). It was a great blend of being able to spend time playing Minecraft but also creating new items for the game. She would like to do it again.

Termtime class total pro

I would highly recommend. My 8 year old son looks forward to his class every week and has learnt so much. The funtech team are super helpful and always make sure he understands what is being taught.

Good precursor to GCSE

My son had a very enjoyable week learning python virtually and has been enthused to do coding on his own. Most importantly he did this course just prior to starting an IT GCSE and he feels it has given him a good step up. Great trainer, very good at capturing the children’s attention virtually.

Great virtual python course

Excellent course, very well run and the trainer captured the children’s attention - no easy feat virtually. Content was well thought through and the kids learnt a huge amount. More importantly perhaps my son had a very enjoyable week!

Minecraft Engineering Camp

my son thoroughly enjoyed this camp. In particular, using logic gates and exploring all the features of Redstone. This was the well-designed camp, making each session lots of fun.

Fun and gripping course

My 9 year old thoroughly enjoyed it. The instructor managed to keep things under control while online. My daughter got the attention she needed.

My son loved it

Tyler really enjoyed the course, after the course finished, he even started to design his own games and we played together as a family.
Great, definitely recommended

This python course was amazing and lot of learning. Only negative bit can be it’s a day long course for 5 days, which drains the kids energy level. However during Easter the same course was run as half day course for two weeks, which gives time for them to practice and also not that tiring during the weeks. Otherwise, it’s an amazing crash course to learn the basic python at an introduction level.

Great course all round for those who want to learn electronics and maybe a few Minecraft tips too.

I booked my twelve year old onto a half term virtual camp only a couple of days before it started, as our plans had changed suddenly due to Covid restrictions. The software support we got was amazing - Funtech rang us up proactively on the Saturday and made sure we had everything downloaded in order for my son to start on the Monday. My son really enjoyed the course - the excellent tutor kept him interested and challenged and he learnt a useful new skill, Python programming, during half term. Thanks Funtech!

My son has never undertaken a holiday course like this before and absolutely loved it. The small group meant he had just the right balance of contact and interaction with others but allowed him to get on and work independently too.
He was excited to get stuck in and took great pride in showing us the start of his own 3D game at the end of the week.
The FunTech team were brilliant with any questions and concerns we had, and kept him engaged all week.
I can highly recommend the course to anyone. At 13 he is hard to please, but you guys managed it! Thanks
