Pro player? Coach? Shoutcaster? Tournament analyst?

Are you looking to break into the esports industry? This course for you.

Esports is defined as organised competitive gaming, which is human versus human, either as individuals or in teams. The esports industry is a fast-growing global industry.

The Level 3 Esports course will give you plenty of opportunities to get a hands on experience into the Esports industry through live tournaments, real experience in developing a brand and you will produce and manage your own esports online live-streamed events, fully equipped with shoutcasters, coaches, presenters and stream managers. Esports offers a unique opportunity to study a sector that crosses over multiple subject areas such as sport, marketing, enterprise, IT and the creatives. It provides an opportunity for alignment of social, physical, mental and financial skills into one qualification to deepen and expand learning. These are skills that are highly valued in the changing and fluid workplace. The qualification attracts UCAS Tariff points and is recognised by higher education providers as contributing to entry requirements for many related courses. When taken in a two-year, full-time study programme, learners can progress to higher education degree programmes, such as

  • BA (Hons) in Events Management
  • BA (Hons) in Media or a BA (Hons) in Esports

Learners should check entry requirements for specific degree programmes with providers. Hyper X are our sponsors for the 2021/22 season. Read the full story here
