At this point I would say I would be difficult (and expensive) to host a boot camp/training in South America. If there were a group of schools pooling together, or a large, well-funded project it may be possible. My best advice at this point would be to arrange to travel to the states for a boot camp (though I understand the Visa process into this country is long an frustrating) If there is a group of schools, or a well funded project please contact me directly.

Could you please tell me what could be the requirements for you to come to Chile or Argentina to host a trainig course?

1. quantity of people
2. days required for the whole course
3. money expected to earn?

or please tell us, so maybe in SouthAmerica we can try to make an effort.

thanks!

Xentar,


Here in Brazil, I already made a small course of TGE for designers. This year we will probably have a bigger one. But the problem of hosting a course in other countries is that most people can't afford it. The price for a boot camp in the US varies from US$600 to $1000. Add plane tickets and hotels to those values and you may imagine how much it would cost.

Interesting, maybe i can go to brazil.

Brazil is closer to Chile.

1. tell me how long time does the course last?
2. do you have an introductori and programming course?
3. what is the idiom? englis/spanish/portuguese?

and in USA how long time is the course days, weeks, months?

i really want to take a course, so if i have to travel to Brazil or USA maybe i can plann it, but i need more information.

@ xentar -- certainly if there are developers closer to you that you can learn from it will be more affordable than traveling to the states. For more information and details on GarageGames sponsored training sessions please contact me directly daveyjatgaragegames.com
