A brief overview of the video game design courses follow. There’s more than we can possibly fit onto this web page, so contact one of Michigan Technology Services’ training consultants for specific details.

Introduction to Programming Concepts on the SONY PlayStation4®
You can play the games, but can you write one? The first step in learning the deep magic of video game design and development is learning how to program. This track is designed to take a motivated computer user and game player through elementary programming concepts, as well as through the art and science of developing video games - targeting the SONY PS4.

Video game programming topics include:

  • Introduction to Unix and Unix Development with C
  • Introduction to C++ (2 weeks)
  • Introduction to PS4 Development (1 week)
  • Basic Modeling and Rendering Techniques (3 days)
  • Positional Audio and Sound Effects (2 days)
  • Intermediate Video Game Design and Development (1 week)
  • Advanced Video Game Design and Development (1 week)

Project Management Techniques for Game Development
Someone has to manage all the kids designing your game. Game Developers are an odd breed, even compared to the “laid back” IT development culture most companies have. Effectively managing a high-energy, highly creative group of Game Developers requires a certain type of IT project management skill set. Our Game Development Project Management course has everything you need as a Project Manager to effectively keep costs and timelines under control, as well as manage a team of creative game developers.

Student Successes

  • The Certified ScrumMaster and Certified Scrum Developer courses that Michigan Technology Services set up for our organization were great. The instructors (Mark and Angela) were outstanding.

    - SF, Senior Software Developer – Hewlett Packard Enterprise

  • The instructors were top notch and made the courses exciting. I have taken Cisco CCNA, Linux and SQL admin classes and I find myself using the knowledge gained every day. If you value getting quality content that will be relevant for years to come, take these courses with Michigan Technology Services.

    - SP, Detroit Network Team Manager – Global Advertising Company

  • I have taken the Scrum Alliance Certified ScrumMaster and Product Owner classes from Michigan Technology Services and thoroughly enjoyed the class content and instructors. I found the ScrumMaster class particularly engaging and energizing as the instructor was top notch. Both classes fueled my passion for agile project management and team dynamics which I have used to drive change in the way my department executes and thinks about running software development projects. I highly recommend Robert and his company.

    - Daniel King, Senior Project Manager – AAA Michigan – Auto Club Group

  • In February of 2015, the Detroit Housing Commission reached out to Michigan Technology Services to request Microsoft Office Excel training for the staff. Within a few days, Rob was able to set up the services at a very reasonable expense. The trainer was superb, knowledgeable and very patient with the students.  It was one of the best trainings that we have ever had.

    - De’Onna Henderson, Director of Asset Management – Detroit Housing Commission

  • We had an excellent experience working with Rob at Michigan Technology Services. He went above and beyond helping us to design three days of onsite customized SharePoint training for our associates. The trainer was beyond knowledgeable and instrumental in the success of the project. If customized training is what you are looking for, we are confident that you need not look any further than MTS for your business training needs.
