Testimonials

We have different testimonials

From the very first day of my internship, I was treated as an equal. There was no excessive micromanagement or control, no pressure, more the care a sibling or parent would provide. The whole team in general was very easy-going and friendly.

FAQ

What is Game Live Operations?

Game Live Operations, or LiveOps, as a discipline, lies at the heart of live services actions. It changes the player experience after the game goes live, or the game receives updates without needing to release a new version. Gone are the days when developing a game, uploading it to a platform, and enjoying life was a sustainable business model for a game with a long lifespan. LiveOps has become an integral part of any free-to-play game and must be carefully planned, starting with a design and ending with a go-to-market strategy. Games-as-a-Service transformed box games into living, organic games that are constantly evolving, and LiveOps can deliver a fresh experience to players every day.

Can I apply if I'm not based in Belgrade, Vilnius, Nicosia, or Prague?

Unfortunately, no. We will be able to offer paid internships only to successful graduates who can legally be employed in one of those four locations.

What is needed for the video interview?

First, you will be asked four interview questions in a video. You will then need to record your answers to these questions. To record your answers, we recommend using a computer (but you can also use a smartphone or tablet) with a camera, microphone, and stable internet connection. Be sure to record in a quiet, well-lit place.

Yes, the course will be held in English. Make sure your level of English is sufficient to understand the study material and complete practical tasks.

It depends, but it can take about eight hours a week to review the tutorials and complete the practical tasks.

Will I get a certificate after finishing the course?

A course completion certificate will be issued to you if you complete the course, all of your homework assignments, and prepare your graduation/final project.

What do I need to do to get an internship offer?
