About The Course

From Gamer to Game Developer. Launch Your Career in Australia's Growing Game Development Industry

Are you obsessed with games and dream of building your own, but you’re worried you don't have the technical background to break into the industry in Australia?

The Certified Unity Game Developer course is a beginner-friendly, 100% online program that takes you from zero coding experience to a job-ready portfolio. You'll build real skills in C# programming, Unity development, and game pitching, and finish with a playable game prototype you can put in front of studios.

Across the course, you'll cover the practical skills that game studios actually look for, including C# programming fundamentals, the full Unity Editor, developer pitching, and a capstone project where you build a complete playable game from start to finish. You'll also sit the official Unity Certified Associate: Game Developer exam and earn an industry-recognised credential, with exam fees included in the cost of the course.

What sets this course apart is that you won't just learn theory. You'll graduate with an actual playable game prototype that demonstrates your technical skill, design thinking, and creative vision. This is a portfolio piece you can showcase directly to studios, employers, and investors, giving you something tangible to show for your training from day one in the job market.

Beyond the core technical skills, you'll also learn how to work the way real developers work. You'll get comfortable with debugging, code readability, problem solving, and communicating technical decisions to non-technical people, all skills that separate the developers studios hire from the ones they don't.

Unity and C# skills are directly transferable beyond traditional gaming into VR, AR, simulation, enterprise training, interactive media, and film production, all high-growth sectors in Australia. 

According to the IGEA Australian Game Developer Survey, the ANZ game development industry generated AU$608.5 million in revenue in Australia in the past financial year, with a further AU$657 million in New Zealand. It's a sector that is hiring, growing, and hungry for new talent who can ship real games.

If you are ready to stop just playing games and start making them, this is your way in. Enquire now about the Certified Unity Game Developer course and take the first step toward building games for a living in Australia.

Testimonials

"I've just completed a Cert 4 in ICT (Cloud Based Computing) and had a great experience. My trainer Dan was always available by email or Teams to support me through the coursework and helped to make some of the trickier material easy to understand. I was able to work through the material at my own pace and particularly enjoyed the technical skills development." - Ali

"Great experience. I undertook a Certificate IV in Information Technology (Web Development). Learning to code confidently in HTML, PHP, JavaScript, and CSS without any experience prior. My tutor has been very patient with my learning experience and I have learned the languages easily. I have extended my course as it was my completion date today, even though I am 19 units out of 20 done. Great experience so far, and considering a Diploma in the future." - Andrew

"I recently spoke with John, a course advisor, about a Certified Full Stack Developer Course and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. As a mature student feeling anxious about returning to study, I appreciated how supportive and encouraging he was. He took the time to answer my questions with patience and was both friendly and informative throughout our conversation. His guidance has made me feel much more confident and excited about starting the course." - Anna

"I recently finished my Certificate IV in Information Technology and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The support and knowledge my teacher provided me was priceless. Nothing was ever an issue when I needed help with areas of my study. A big shout out to Dan, you are an absolute G." - Liam
