Games Development

Full-time Games Development Bootcamp Course Review:The strength of any course lies in the team that delivers it. In this, The Developer Academy (TDA) excels above others.TDA is also very careful to ensure the applicant is well suited for the bootcamp with a multi-stage application process. From prior experience, I know this is a hidden hallmark of a high quality professional approach to training, because it ensures better learner outcomes over other less rigorous training programmes.The course delivery has a practical focus, and is centred around gaining hands-on experience with current industry tools (e.g. Visual Studio, C++, Unreal Engine) and methods (e.g. Agile - Scrum & Kanban).In summary: The bootcamp was four months of full-time 'on the job'-style intensive training, backed up by a comprehensive support structure which includes career development. Approachable, friendly, helpful, supportive, employment focused training from video game industry professionals. Personally, to call it "positively life changing" isn't an exaggeration. I thoroughly enjoyed the bootcamp!

I took this course to learn unreal engine as I had previously used unity to broaden my skills, I learned a lot and now feel very confidant using unreal engine to make games. It was a great experience from start to finish, I enjoyed working with the other students on the course and this helped me gain experience working with others which is a big part of game development. Finally I love the hands on approach of this course as I learn best by doing rather than studding, building on concepts a bit at a time for example, starting out with variables and then to making a scoring system.If your interested in learning unreal, I cant recommend this course enough.

The bootcamp was amazing in teaching me the basics of game development using C++ and Unreal Engine. The instructors were very helpful and fostered an amazing learning environment. I now feel confident in tackling the many challenges that game development throws my way.
