Our collective experience from industry, government and educational institutions

I didn’t realise how much industry best practices I was missing out in my Poly education. The 8 months coaching under Coach Simon complemented with my studies and helped me appreciate the games industry as a whole

With a wide skill set under his belt, Coach Ryan was able to gather experiences from different aspects of production to bind and coach my project team, creating a very fruitful process throughout. When our project faced challenges, the coaching aided our troubleshooting with thought-provoking prompts and questions
