Train 2 Game

Description

Train2Game (or T2G, as it is known by our students) is the only blended learning college that offers people the chance to qualify as a Games Designer, Games Developer or Games Artist and Animator with a TIGA Diploma.

Train2Game was created to meet the specific industry skills shortages as recognised by TIGA, see below.

The content for all courses was co-written and reviewed by two of DR Studios’ finest, gaming industry experts COO Tony Bickley. find out more about Tony Bickley and CEO Clive Robert – find out more about Clive Robert.

Train2Game is fully supported by TIGA who are the independent awarding and examination body for the blended learning courses, for more information on this go to the TIGA website.

“One of the reasons why TIGA got involved with Train2Game is because the games industry is suffering from skills shortages, our research shows that in 2008 63% of games businesses’ were suffering from skills shortages, such as Programmers, Games Designers and also Project Managers as well, one of the key shortages was programming. So one of the good things about the Train2Game courses approach is we are taking a direct step at trying to remunerate those skills shortages.

TIGA has been working with Train2Game to ensure the content of the courses are strong, we have established a tiny examinations committee, the examinations committee is made up of some of key studios in the United Kingdom”
