🧠 Learn Unreal Engine with Player Ready

Build Games. Learn Industry Tools. Earn AQA Accreditation.

At Player Ready, we teach young people how to build real games using Unreal Engine 5 — the powerful tool behind hits like Fortnite, Hogwarts Legacy, and Valorant. Whether you’re a budding game designer, a curious teen, or part of an Alternative Provision or Post-16 learning pathway, our Unreal Engine course turns creativity into technical skill — with nationally recognised AQA accreditation to prove it.

🎮 What You’ll Learn

This is not just a “game club” — it’s a structured, skills-based curriculum that builds real understanding of how games are made.

Over 10 sessions, learners will:

• 🛠 Create 3D worlds using terrain tools, lighting, and imported assets

• 👾 Build interactive characters and gameplay using Unreal Blueprints (visual coding)

• 🧠 Design basic AI with behaviour trees and perception (make enemies that can “see” you!)

• 🎨 Develop menus and HUDs using Unreal Motion Graphics (UMG)

• 🧪 Debug, optimise, and test game performance

• 📦 Package and export a fully playable game for Windows

No coding experience required — we start from scratch, and learners can go as deep as they want.

📜 AQA Unit Award Scheme Recognition

Our course is fully mapped to the AQA Unit Award Scheme (UAS) — meaning every learner can earn certificates for:

• Using Unreal Engine 5

• Environment & interaction design

• Blueprint scripting & AI

• UI creation and game packaging

These awards are perfect for building college portfolios, evidence for EHCPs, or skills-based progression routes into the games industry.

This course is ideal for:

• 🎓 Post-16 learners interested in digital media, creative tech, or software development

• 💬 AP students who benefit from high-engagement, hands-on learning

• 🧩 Young people who love Minecraft, Roblox, or Unity and want to level up

• 🏆 Learners needing recognised outcomes for schools, EHCPs, or re-engagement programmes

Available as:

• 🧑‍💻 1:1 online sessions

• 🏫 Small group AP/college delivery

• 🎮 In-venue enrichment or club format

🏁 Outcomes That Matter

By the end of the course, learners will have:

• Built and exported their own playable game
