Walker Boys Studio Certification

On completion of the course (above) you will receive an ‘Official’ Walker Boys Studio Certification for Unity 3D Game Development (Three Certificate Styles available).

With this Certificate you will have something new to hang on your wall and show off to friends. :)

Along with that, this Certificate ‘proves’ that you showed commitment to learning, self-motivation to working hard, and a desire to grow your passion as a game developer.

--Questions--

Does the certificate mean anything?

To us, yes. We will be very proud of you and mail you a wonderful certificate to keep. Our goal is to provide a free form of certification for individuals to take and use as a stepping stone for validating their skills in Unity.

Do you have different Certificate Templates to choose from?

We’re glad you asked. Yes, we have three wonderful styles to choose from.

You’re really going to mail me a copy of the certificate?

Yes. You put in a lot of work and should be rewarded for your efforts. If you provide us with a mailing address, you can expect to receive a physical copy of the ‘Official’ WBS Unity Certificate.

Will the rest of the world care about the certificate?

We’re not sure, it hasn’t been done yet. If the Certificate (eventually) takes on any formal shape of ‘Certification’, then it will help to reinforce your working knowledge of Unity and provide developers with even more confidence in your abilities.

So, we will see. :)
