My daughter has just completed a week of python coder level2 virtual course. It was a fairly last minute decision to book as I needed to use up some accumulated childcare vouchers that would expire on her 15th birthday (few months time). The booking system was straightforward and I was refunded once the vouchers had gone through.
The programs that were necessary to install prior to the course took around an hour- a little tricky due to the firewalls in the laptop.

The tutor was very professional, engaging and knowledgeable. Regular breaks given throughout the session, timings were perfect. A well organised course, thank you.

Minecraft game coder part 1

Dylan had a really great time and enjoyed himself. He would consider doing another course during the holidays and also a weekly lesson.

Java camp

Child enjoyed it so much she booked onto the second Java week!

Java P1

My 15 year old daughter enjoyed the experience and has asked to do the follow on course! She is pleased to have learnt a language that she will not be taught in school.

The teaching was good and the ration of 3-6 pupils meant that got the attention they needed.

Python OOP course

FunTech Review

My kids did 3 weeks of courses combined and they all enjoyed very much.

Roblox Designer Course - Virtual

Our son had an absolute blast - he loved the structure of the lessons and the content and can't wait to attend more camps in the future.

Amazing!

My son rarely, if ever, enjoys attending holiday camps. However, he rated this as 10/10 and said it was amazing. He loved the lessons and thought the teacher was brilliant!

The staff are all quite young, but seem capable and knowledgable.

Summer camp in Tondbridge

As always, Funtech did not disappoint. My Daughter attended the residential summer camp and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. This was the second visit, and she will go there next year. I want to thank Funtech staff for organising this camp and giving kids the opportunity to learn and have fun.

Thank-you for keeping me updated. Vincent and I had a few chats online.

He really enjoyed himself.

I think 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 being able to work remotely internationally in any field of his choice. The main thing is he really enjoyed himself.

Excellent experience

My daughter really enjoyed the advanced python course, having done the basic one two weeks earlier.
I was surprised at the level of coding she was able to do by the end of the course and it fits really well with what she has been/ will be doing at school.
Definitely recommend.

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.

My son really enjoyed it

I had to think carefully about this course as it isn't cheap...but my son genuinely enjoyed all of it and is a lot more confident with computing terminology and handling software generally. He had fun and learnt a lot and was enthused at the end of each day about what he'd been doing that day.

Successful start to learning coding

My Daughter enjoyed the virtual camps in Python and 3D Game Design which were convient and offered a safe space to start her learning journey. Tutors were attentive and gave her additional time, it is so important that girls can have future careers in tech and it starts without having their confidence knocked by those who have had more opportunities to test out their skills. My Daughter is keen to come back and learn more...so I am delighted that her first toe dip has been a successs and she would love a Minecraft design course aimed at secondary school age, if it is possible. Thank you Funtech team for making this learning accessible to all.

Red stone engineering

Thank you so much so a brilliant week, my son had a fantastic time. We’ll be back again soon!

Fantastic Week!

My 7 year old daughter came home buzzing after her first day of FunTyper. I'm impressed with her posture, finger placement and accuracy. Her tutor kept her engaged and motivated, thank you!

Wonderful stay at Tonbridge School

Our 13 year old had a wonderful stay at Tonbridge School. He enjoyed the Python Coder course and met lots of friends.

Great course!

It’s a great course and the tutor Nathan totally motivates my child’s passion on Python. Just after the 1st course, my child can not wait for the next one! Can we enrol Python 2 as soon as possible ? :)

Thank you!

Fun and Educational

My son really enjoyed this course, and wants to carry on working with his project in his spare time afterwards.

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.

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!

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. 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.

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.

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.
