Train2Game is a company based in the UK providing home learning courses for those interested in breaking into the games industry. I was stupid enough to sign up to one of their courses, it cost me £2600 as a one off payment, would have been a lot more to pay monthly. About a third of the way through the course I got to a point where I was struggling to continue, but was determined having completed my first online exam with a score of around 76%. So I phoned the tutors, who's job it is, I was told, to help me. Both tutors pretty much told me it was my own problem and nothing to do with them. They wouldn't let me talk to a supervisor to complain and I couldn't find a number to contact management/supervisors directly. So I've basically been left on the course, at a point I don't understand and can't get through with no help, having given them just over two and a half grand of money left to me by my late grandmother. When she left it to me for my education I think she intended the company it went to to actually educate me.
In my opinion, and that of many others I've met in life and online, this company is a scam. Once they have your money they drop all support. I would urge anyone looking at their courses to go with a different company and any game devs looking to recommend them to think twice.
