While gaming is a part of the course, it’s only a small portion of your assessed work, so you’ll be focusing on a wide range of skills. You won’t have any formal exams, as all of your work will be assignment-based, including observations, practical tasks, and written work.
Completing this course will open doors to a variety of career paths. We’ll support you throughout the year to plan your next steps, whether that’s moving on to a Level 2 Esports course, a different vocational course, an apprenticeship, or heading straight into employment.
Some courses may require kit/uniform to be purchased. Please see attached kit list for further information.
