Bib International College experiences?
Hello, I'm considering starting an apprenticeship as a game developer at the private vocational college bip (in Bergisch Gladbach) at the end of this year. I'm fortunate that my family is financially well off, and they would cover the costs (approximately €13,000 over three years).
I've found very mixed opinions about bip online. Some say that the teachers are friendly and competent, the course material is modern, and there are good career opportunities not only through trade fairs but also through contacts.
On the other hand, I've read that the computers are apparently outdated and the programs used constantly crash, and that many employees don't fully utilize training at the bip, which means they are "forced" to pay even more money for a degree because even some universities don't properly recognize the bip.
I'm particularly interested in hearing about my own experiences or those of friends, preferably from Bergisch Gladbach in the last few years. By the way, I have a secondary school diploma, which is sufficient.

In principle, these problems are more typical of institutions that are in the field of technology. The fact that the technique is spinning is, in fact, often due to the fact that the students do not handle it properly. I can also imagine that some systems are outdated, but that is also not untypical.
To my own experience: Those who have chosen to make such a specific training had actually had problems finding a job. This is because there are hardly any companies in Germany that focus on game development. Even if you consider going abroad, it is difficult to recognize the training at all. It’s just not worth it for 13,000 euros.
Alternatively, you could make a simple training as a specialist informant, because you are definitely more flexible on the market. What some of my acquaintances have made it their subject abitur and then to study something in the field of game development, which was combined with typical computer science.
