Description of the training center
{"ops":[{"insert":"Since 2011, Activdesign has been training learners both in-person in Rennes and remotely across the entire country. Since 2018, dedicated video game courses have been offered to prepare students for creative and technical careers: Game Design, Game Art, Sound Design, Narrative Design, and Testing. Our programs last between 3 and 5 years after high school to prepare for professionalization. \nThe pedagogy implemented by Activdesign places a strong emphasis on projects, whether individual, in pairs, or in studio mode as large-scale collaborative projects. Based on a training plan and an established schedule, students are encouraged early on to learn through real-world projects that may involve varying levels of constraints, helping to guide their work and learning. Learning thus happens on the job, in work-like conditions, to develop the adaptability required for creative and technological careers. This approach combines some instructor-led courses but is primarily based on active and innovative teaching methods that take the learner's needs as the foundation of the learning process.\n"}]}
