We had two normal units to check. One was from 2008 which needed service. But the other one was last serviced less than two years ago. They bullied the staff into accepting to get two new units. I con... See more

4 day course in AI

My son learned some great new skills in coding so I am pleased he attended the sessions. The content and tasks were applicable and useful. I just think the course was quite pricey and could be accessible to more people if it was priced more reasonably, which may help reduce the fees. My son has done other coding courses where the presenters are more hands-on and can access the student's screen to provide more specific support.

I really enjoyed doing all the AI…

I really enjoyed doing all the AI projects and especially loved coding the “Snake Game”.

My son enjoyed the course but scope for improvement

My son enjoyed the course and built on the Python knowledge he already had from school.

The course my son attended with Fire Tech was not cheap and whilst the content was good and the teacher was capable, there were a few things that could have been improved upon:

- teaching was not dynamic / exciting enough for the age group. My 11 year old periodically lost enthusiasm as a result. I think someone with a more dynamic teaching style would be better for this age group (8-12)?
- assembly on day one and part-way through the course meant some teaching time was lost. I found this frustrating - I was paying for my son to learn, not to be in assembly. He did not wish to attend assembly!!!
- one day an hour of teaching was lost because the students were asked to download something new/select a different option when installing. This entailed each student having to be helped individually (incidentally the helpers were more dynamic than the teacher - my son thought his helper was great!). I am not sure why this was not in the pre-course set-up instructions thus saving time during the course?

This is our second python course, our first was done with a different organisation which sadly did not have space for us this holiday. It is extremely unlikely I will book with Fire Tech again as I felt the other course provider better met my son's needs and was better organised.

Hi there and thank you for your review it has a lot of really interesting and helpful points that have gone back to the team.

We usually get great feedback on our tutors so we're sorry to hear that this wasn't your experience. I'd let to dig a little deeper into the software setup/changes you mentioned as rightly we try to limit the amount of this that has to happen and have this occur outside lessons, regardless this sounds like something we could certainly aim to improve.

Regarding your point on assembly, we use these as a way to kick off the camps and at the end of camp, this is a way for the students to showcase their work a lot of parents are keen to experience this with their children as a way to see what has been happening across the week. Feedback on this has been really positive from most parents. It would be great if you're willing to find out a bit more about the factors you and your child didn't enjoy about these and understand how they could improve.

Thanks again,

We were very happy with the course

We were very happy with the course. This is the second one our son has joined with Fire-Tech (previously AI and this time VR/AR) and he has loved both of them. The teaching is engaging and thorough, and the small class size means that each student gets their fair share of guidance for subjects which us parents find quite baffling!

Hi there and thanks for leaving us a review. We've tried to contact you via email to better understand what issues you had and why you felt this feedback was necessary. We're very sad that you have left the course feeling this way and would love the opportunity to change your opinion of us. We have LOTS of super happy customers and it would be great to have you feel the same way.

This is the second camp my son has done…

This is the second camp my son has done with Firetech, and he really enjoyed it. He struggled on the first day as it was quite difficult, but the tutor was great and very patient and encouraged him to stick with it. By the end of day two, he was up to speed and loving it.
