Super organisation

Michael had a great time! FunTech are very professional, organised with friendly tutors who know exactly what they are doing. He doubled his typing speed and you can't say more than that.

I think my child enjoyed the week and has learnt the fundamentals of touch typing. I look forward to helping her practice and returning to a further class. Thanks

Useful learning

# Our daughter really had a good time for the whole week # she did enjoy waking up and going to funtech everyday # i think the price for one week of teaching looks a bit steep. It would be great value at two thirds the price and will attract multiple times the number of parents. worth considering

Expensive childcare

Very disappointed with this course. It was not cheap and the tuition was very minimal. Studying conditions were bad enough to give my child back ache problems. All in all it seemed expensive childcare which is not what we needed.

Hi - thank you very much, my son, had a great time at the FunTyper course and many thanks again for allowing him to attend for just 4 days and to have extended access to the online facility following the course. I've only given a 4 rating as the logistics were very hard. It was quite a long day plu

FunTyper

Course is extremely expensive for what it is, a touch typing course! There should also be a decent discount for siblings & returning customers. Other course providers nearly always provide this. I won't be signing up to anymore FunTech courses as a result of the cost, which is a shame. I have been

FunTech Response


I am sorry to read that you feel our courses are too expensive and so won't be signing up again.

Looking at your booking I can see that this is the first holiday camp booking for your children with FunTech and that Maeve did some term time courses with us previously.

All returning customers have early access to both our February Sale and Early Bird Discounts. I can see from our internal system that emails for both of these were sent to and received by you, including any reminders.

The fees are heavily discounted for February Sale and then there is a little discount for the Early Bird, before we return to full fees.

The certificate for the completion of the course has been posted to your parent portal and notification was sent to you on the Friday the children completed their course.

The children have access to their FunTyper accounts for a further three months after the course to continue building their touch typing skills. These accounts also contain all the metrics you mention above.

Building muscle memory can only be done through repetition and so engaging children to do the same thing over and over and over again for a whole week to build good muscle memory AND ensure they enjoy it makes this our toughest course to deliver. It demands an enormous amount of energy and dedication from our team of tutors.

Glad to read they enjoyed it and that our tutors were good. 

Wishing you and the children all the best for the future.

Touch Typing & Roblox Game Developer

My son had a great time at the above day camps. It really sparked his interest in Roblox, having previously been a mere player of games, as exciting to be able to create his own. The touch typing really reinforced his previous typing lessons - he also enjoyed the fun music!
