AndrewiGaming Foundations
I believe that as a totally new person to the industry, who had absolutely no idea about iGaming, I now understand the requirements of the industry and have a better idea about what I can offer. The lecturer was very patient, focused, and objective driven which made the lesson very clear and easy to follow.
Mr Thake
I felt that it was a very educational and fun experience which enhanced my knowledge about gaming. I was inspired. It was great, getting to know other people who I never met before. There was a time for everything - we worked, we played and we cracked jokes together. Probably the best computer institution on the Maltese Islands. There was a stimulating environment and instead of letting summer go by I was productive from a creative point of view. A fantastic adventure!
