Great experience! Fab team!

I was very surprised to read some of the poor reviews here as both mine and my sons experience with FunTech has always been a very positive and rewarding one. My son started attending a Funtech when he was 9. He went to a Summer Camp (non residential) and absolutely loved every minute of it. Over the years he attended lots of different courses and eventually ended up studying for his A level computing with FunTech at the age of 15. My son had a few different teachers at a Funtech and they were all good but the one who sticks in my mind is Priyam. She genuinely cared about my son and wanted him to do well. He loved working with her. She kept me informed every step of the way (ie when he didn’t hand in homework etc) She was just amazing! My son had a few challenges growing up and was quite unwell sometimes, but FunTech were very flexible with him and made sure that he reached his full potential. The owner of Funtech is a lovely lady called Shen. She went above and beyond for my son. He found her easy to talk to and really trusted her. My son still meets her for a catch up sometimes and will always regard her highly as will I. What more can I say!

Expensive, poorly organised and bad management.

I agree with all the other poor reviews. Kept my child safe but that was about it. The tutors were ill equipped to look after children and didn't seem to have had much training - the show and tell at the end of the Roblox course was pathetic... my daughter had lost all her work when the computer crashed so she had nothing to show except a very basic course. No log-in sent to help her continue her progress after the course as promised but they tried to flog us an expensive add-on and the next week (yes we were foolish enough to sign up for two before we knew how bad they were!), the tutor attempted a reward chart system to help control the kids which backfired badly and just ended de-motivating them. The FunTyper course was better and to be fair she liked going to both (mainly so she could play games in Roblox rather than learn to code it!) but given the extortionate cost of the course, the organisation generally was atrocious, the tutors were lacking enthusiasm, the servers kept crashing, and we personally won't be considering them again in future. Really really unimpressed overall. Like others have said, they're just a money spinner... we had much better experiences with CodeCamp at a fraction of the price and the only reason we ended up with these courses was location. If you want value for money and for your kids to actually learn something rather than just be kept safe, I would avoid these courses like the plague if you have other options.

Hi Clair,
I am really sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with us.

We have tried to contact you over the phone but didn't have any luck getting ahold of you, unfortunately. I would really like to resolve any issues you've had and make sure you are happy, so please get in touch if you'd like to discuss this further.

We have tried contacting you several times, without much success and so sadly we have not been given the opportunity to resolve the matter.

Avoid this holiday camp

My 2 children (10 and 9) have just been on the Roblox course. The two positive things were that the kids were safe and it was near my work. The quality of the course was awful- it was very disorganised and my children just played games all the time as the tutors (apparently on their mobiles all the time) were not interested and also did not know anything about Roblox. If you are looking for a coding holiday club, I suggest you use FireTech instead where we have always had good experiences.

Started with good expectations

Started with good expectations . But have removed child now. No home work for week given. No course material. Relies to child to remember thinks taught only for the 1hr online. As a parent we cannot help on weekly basis. Very expensive. Did a session during half term. Waste of money and time. As there is no follow up of solidification of concept.

I am presuming that your child was enrolled onto a term time course. If so there is a weekly challenge that is posted on your child's portal. As I don't have your name I am unable to our records so can respond appropriately.

Please do contact us again at enquiry@funtech.co.uk, so we can better understand your concerns.
