Train2Game have launched an exciting new website where we get to show off the great accomplishments of our students.
Train2Game Winners is a place where students who have achieved great
things in the games industry will be celebrated. We thought it was high
time to show the world just how successful our students can be.
The website features testimonials from students in their own words
about how they feel about Train2Game and the support they have received.
We are proud of each and every one of our students and hope that we
will be adding to this site with more new achievements from students in
the near future.

Train2Game “This is brilliant” says gamer Samantha Whale
Games queen Samantha Whale was handed her ‘key’ to the future at Bedfordshire University last Wednesday.
The 17 year old student, from Luton, has won thousands of pounds over the last few months by taking on hundreds of opponents across the world in internet tournaments.
And yesterday she was one of the media students at the leading university to enrol on a ground-breaking course which could lead her to a £50,000 a year job in the burgeoning games industry. The course is linked to a unique jobs search engine which allows students to get their CVs to potential employers while they are still learning.
Alison, who received the course kit along with another 20 students from Mr Jan Telensky, co-founder of the train2game organisation which designed the course, said: “This is brilliant – I love gaming and would love to build a future in it.”
Bedfordshire University was so impressed by courses created by Train2Game, that last Wednesday it linked up to give students the chance of a career in the £300bn computer games business.
And the university’s decision has gone a long way to boost the image of a world-wide training industry which has often faced a hostile press.
The courses were written by computer game studio professionals and have the backing of TIGA, the games industry’s trade association.
Bedfordshire University’s head of computer science Prof Carsten Maple said: “This is a great accolade for a company, to have their material taken up as part of our Bachelor of Science course reflects their strengths and knowledge.
“We evaluated the materials produced by Train2Game and felt they made an important contribution to the curriculum of our BSc Computer Games Development course.
Because the Train2Game materials are written by games industry professionals, with the involvement of the industry trade association, it will help to ensure our students learn relevant skills and are exposed to industry tools”.
Mr Jan Telensky, co-founder of Train2Game, said: “We, as a company, are working hard to give people who want to learn, a brighter future. This is proof not only to the foresight of the University but to our determination to turn out ground-breaking courses.”
Richard Wilson, chief executive of trade association TIGA, said: “The new Train2Game courses are highly relevant to current industry needs and TIGA members can provide input into the course content and the exam questions through TIGA’s examinations committee. We hope that this new industry-led initiative by Train2Game will increase the supply of well-trained and employable new entrants into the industry.”

The course was written by D.R. Studios of Milton Keynes, whose COO, Tony Bickley with over 25 years’ experience in the industry with the likes of Interplay, US Gold and Konami, was present during the hand-over to talk to students about the relevance of their studies to today’s computer games industry.
Train2Game, commissioned industry games specialist DR Studios to devise and write the courses, for aspirants who are unable to attend University, and to provide an alternative route into this dynamic industry.

Train2Game I am gob-smacked at the amount I have learnt
James
Over the past month I am gob-smacked at the amount I have learnt. Although I have only started the course and done my first modules, I feel like this is what I should of been doing all my life.
Every morning I'll wake up with answers to problems I had the night before in game designing, even when trying to sleep my mind is buzzing with new ideas.
I would never of thought I would be able to learn and create such games so quickly and to a good standard like http://www.yoyogames.com/games/show/97263
(although the long days and nights are probably the reason!)
I have made great social network on the forum and have even started helping people out with their projects.
Project : Colonisation (World Map Designer)
Project : Soul Wars (Guild Sign Designer)
I hope they lead to more projects as I thoroughly enjoy working with the people.
Over all this has been a great opportunity where I have learnt SO much knowledge and can’t wait for more materials... BRING IT ON!

Train2Game I've been doing my course during Physio
Simon
Well I have been doing my course while being in a lot of pain from the 20 wires that went through my leg in a frame in recent weeks. I have been doing physio to try and regain the ability to walk even with the pain I have been doing the course to the best of my ability so that in the end I will be able to be a game designer.
