Those wishing to break into the fast-paced world of competitive gaming can now get their Level 2 or Level 3 qualifications from the college’s City Hub. But the course isn’t just about gaming, helping students take a deep dive into the booming industry and teaching them transferable skills that they can use in a variety of career options. The brand-new classroom has been kitted out with cutting-edge equipment such as state-of-the-art monitors, professional gaming chairs and neon lighting.
He started playing video games at age 5, and by age 12, he was already competing in tournaments. The summary provides a brief overview of the growing popularity of esports and the impact it has on young people. It highlights the potential benefits and drawbacks of this phenomenon.

He said: “I was about five-years-old and I’ve always wanted to prove my mum wrong and show her that you can actually make a difference in the world and it’s not just playing games. “I chose Nottingham College because other colleges didn’t have what I was interested in. It’s still very early days so I’m not sure what I’ll do after finishing the course but I’m thinking about the business side of e-sports. This course will be a good start anyway.”
The course, which launched this September, has been met with a great uptake, with the Level 2 course currently having all 18 available places filled, while the Level 3 course only has five vacant spots. Greg Naika-Taylor, Nottingham College esports lecturer, said: “A lot of youngsters are really interested in content creation, live streaming and video games. “We tie all those things together and look at how they could develop their own brand and skills. Although we cover all the bases of the e-sports industry, all the skills are transferable. “Students might be interested in esports now, but when they finish college or even university, they might not feel the same way. But they will have all those skills that are transferable to other industries like media, the music industry, television or marketing.
“The future of esports is bright, and students who are passionate about gaming can find success in this growing industry. However, it’s important to remember that esports is not a guaranteed path to success. Students should be prepared for the possibility that they may not pursue a career in esports.
The new facilities at the company were a significant investment, totaling £140,000. The investment was primarily focused on upgrading the monitors used by the company’s employees. The monitors were equipped with the highest refresh rates on the market, providing a smoother and more responsive user experience.
