    This may be appealing to those of you with a keen interest in games design or development. Gamer Camp begins in November and is backed by several major industry bodies, including Rare, Blitz Games, Sony and Codemasters, to provide exclusive courses which will leave participants fully equipped for a career in the games industry.

    Set up as three intensive courses, Nano, Mini and Pro, the camps are staggered in terms of skill level, duration and start date. The first of which is the Nano Camp, running from 3 Novemeber – 3 December, and will provide the skills needed to produce games for the iPhone/ iPod Touch/ iPad.

    The closing date for applications on the Nano Camp is 8 October.

    Applications for the next set of camps are due to open in 2011, with the Mini starting in March and the Pro in September 2011. Keep an eye on the Gamer Camp website for further information and to apply for a course.
