Our method

Training quality, guaranteed at every step

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.

Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

Live briefing on goals and team context.
Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.

Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
Program co-written then validated by your team.

Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which tools are used in Unreal Engine Advanced training?+

Hands-on work runs on visual Studio, UE compilation, actor, pawn, controller and GPU particles. Those tools come from the Unreal Engine Advanced program itself, delivered on site over 4 days, so participants practise on the stack they will use at work.

What can participants do after Unreal Engine Advanced training?+

They can integrate advanced C++ code into your Unreal Engine projects, optimize graphics and physics performance for AAA and develop complex gameplay systems with Behavior Trees. Those are the stated objectives of the Unreal Engine Advanced program at Advanced level, checked by the end-of-session assessment.

What does the Unreal Engine Advanced program cover, day by day?+

Day 1: Advanced Blueprints and C++ Intro: custom nodes, hybrid scripts (Visual Studio, UE compilation). Day 2: In-Depth Unreal C++: UObject classes, gameplay framework (Actor, Pawn, Controller). Day 3: Optimization and Niagara: profiling, LOD, VFX systems (GPU particles, cascades). Day 4: VR/AR Deployment and Finalization: packaging, Steamworks, Meta XR (cross-platform builds). The Unreal Engine Advanced program runs over 4 days, delivered on site.

How is Unreal Engine Advanced training assessed?+

Assessment relies on daily theoretical quizzes on C++ and UE tools, practical evaluations via deliverable prototypes and final project: optimized VR/AR game rated by experts. Learni issues a completion certificate together with the individual assessment report at the end of the Unreal Engine Advanced program, which an L&D team can file as evidence.

How much does Unreal Engine Advanced training cost per participant?+

Unreal Engine Advanced training is priced on quote. The amount depends on headcount, format and how far the syllabus is tailored to your team. A detailed quote is sent within one business day, and team pricing covers the whole group from the second participant.
