The global Esports market is estimated to be worth over $1 Billion in 2022 and will be growing 50% over the next three years. We are excited to be able to offer you the chance to be part of this growth. The Esports community is relatively young and there is a mass of untapped potential making this a very exciting, energetic and potentially very profitable area to get into.

Bringing together Creative Media and Business, this course will challenge what you think you know about gaming and the world of business.

Have you ever wondered what it would take to be the next Twitch star or compete in national Esports competitions? Have you ever wanted to organise an event of your own? If so then this could be the course for you. It allows you to explore the world of gaming and get a feel for how the professionals do it.

On the course:

You will learn the fundamentals of games, Esports and live streaming.
You will explore fitness, nutrition and how to manage and coach a squad or your own routine.
You will learn how to build your gaming empire using entrepreneurial skills in business acumen.
You will also host competitions in-house and compete at a national level, playing games like FIFA, League of Legends, Rocket League and Overwatch.

If this is not enough, you will be given the opportunity to meet industry professionals and business owners who will be willing to offer guidance and their own experience in the business.
