Each course can be attended individually and without prerequisites.

Participants will have time until November 30 to play the game for a minimum of 12 hours and to reach certain in game achievements. In a coaching session (October) we will discuss various aspects of the skill, experiences and improvements. In additon, the participation in one of the other sessions (either Q&A Session oder Feedback Session) is mandatory. During this entire period students will have support to solve technical and game problems.

Progress will be evaluated by standardized tests which will be answered pre- and post-training. In addition achievements within the video game are tracked and analyzed. All participants will receive a a softskill map visualizing their skills.
