Fancy learning about Game Design?

If you’re a Greater Manchester resident age 16-18 (or under 25 with an EHCP, or care-experienced) and not in school, a job, or training then we’ve got the course for you.

This is not school ICT lessons. Rather, it’s an introduction to the core skills needed to create your own computer games. At the end, you’ll receive a certificate of completion, help with your CV and job searching (in any industry).

This programme is run in partnership with Salford Council, and priority will be given to Salford residents.

Any questions? Get in touch!

We’re happy to answer any queries you may have about any aspect of what we offer, or about your personal situation as a potential learner. You can contact us by email at [email protected], or via phone call/text/WhatsApp on 07874 040940.
We aim to get back to everyone promptly, but if you're messaging outside of our normal office hours (Monday-Friday, 9am to 5pm) we may take a little longer so please bear with us!
