Well here is a thread i am putting together about the courses at T2G. Some of this information is copied from the website and some i have researched by my self.

Now some research i did when phoning around and contacting T2G is i found all courses cost on average around £5,000 which in my opinion is a whopping highly priced course to do online from home. I would recommend these courses if your are really willing with what ever cost to get into the games industry. Personally i want to be a games design and animator however i am going collage first then i might take up the courses in T2G.

To join a course in T2G you are recommended to be age 17+ However i did phone them up saying im interested, im only 15. A few weeks later i get a phone call asking if i want to sign up for when i leave school at age 16. So i am guessing they will take anyone on if you have left school.

Now all the courses will provide the software and information to use the software needed during your course. You will be provided with a personal professional to guide you on your way to a games industry career. I am unsure if they provide you with a high performance computer as for the price of the course im sure they should include alot of software such as Maya, 3Ds Max, Visual studios and alot of high-tech software with full licensing registered to your name.
