The benchmarking process compared Train2Game’s courses to existing guidelines from bodies including Skillset, the Sector Skills Council for Creative Media, and has followed an in-depth review of the courses’ content from the panel, which included TIGA Educational Advisors Professor Carsten Maple and Mark Eyles from the University of Bedfordshire and the University of Portsmouth respectively.
The two courses, created in association with industry specialist games developers DR Studios, provide people who are passionate about gaming the relevant skills for a career in games design, animation, programming and other related industries. An additional course, Games Artist, will launch in April.
Key findings of the panel:
• The Games Developer and Games Design courses offer a good challenge to students.
• Both courses are developed, managed and delivered by people with vast experience in the games industry, including consultation with the wider industry via TIGA members.
• Train2Game’
