What our students say

Student Filipe Amaro
Filipe Amaro
Senior Project Manager
"I took part in the Game Production course with Daniel Stahl in the Spring of 2024 and I found it immensely helpful! As a Project Manager moving into Game Production, I found there were a lot of overlaps, however this course really went in depth as to what is expected as a GP. Thanks to Daniel and ELVTR, I now have industry knowledge to supplement my work experience and I'm excited to find my first role in the gaming industry."
Student Lewis Jarrett
Lewis Jarrett
Head of Technical Account Management, Finnplay
"For me, the course was a perfect opportunity to test transferable skills between similar industries. Daniel was fantastic in identifying how to capitalise on my current skillset in order to make the leap to game production. With his help, I'm able to much more effectively build on my experiences and showcase my strengths when looking for Producing roles and I'd thoroughly recommend anyone to take up a similar opportunity with ELVTR. It's never too late to learn something new and work on your passion!"
Student Antonio Whyte
