The validation for the new HNC\/D Computer Games Development<\/span> takes place on Friday, 12 March<\/span>. This will be followed, sometime in April, by the validation of the NPAs (at Intermediate 1, 2 and Higher). So, there will be qualifications spanning SCQF Levels 4-8 available by the summer. I received the validation proposal document from the lead developer of the HN awards this morning and the qualification looks very exciting, with units in Game Technology<\/span>, 3D Level Editing, AI, Game Physics,<\/span> and History, Evolution and Impact of Computer Games<\/span>.<\/p>\n Contact Caroline<\/a> if you want to know more about the HN awards or contact Hilary<\/a> for information on the NPAs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Over 40 people voted in the poll (see panel on right) about your intentions regarding computer games.
