Game UI UX Design Mentorship From The Desk Of John Burnett

FROM THE DESK OF JOHN BURNETT.

Art Director and International Educator 

Dreams don’t happen unless you work on them. Trust me, as a 20-year game developer working with some of the finest Studios in the world, I know all about living the Dream. But I also know how distant it can feel, especially without any formal training or guidance. In fact, it might feel like the Dream is impossibly beyond your reach.

 

Not true – and you’ve taken your first step simply by being here. The next step is to invest in a proven education built on 5 years of experience and 50+ student success stories. I wanted to build you an exclusive experience tailored to your creativity and unique challenges. A luxurious place where we all can find our true calling. 

 

It’s not just a Passion, it’s not a Phase and it’s not a silly Dream – not anymore. It’s an incredible moment in time where, yes, you can do this. Come join us

 

New Worlds Await.

QUESTIONS? ANSWERS.

Q: What happens once I register for the Program?

 

Within about 24 – 72 hours, depending on the current backlog of Registrants, you’ll receive an email invitation for our (fun and casual) 30-minute Discovery Call via Google Meet where I can get to know you better, you can get a sense of my personality, and I can show you tons of real student work. 

 

Please note: the Discovery Call costs a nonrefundable $100 to assure serious inquiries. If some uniquely challenging circumstance occurs, refunds may be considered – but on the whole – these are non-refundable. If any party can not meet on the original date, reschedules will be permitted at my discretion. 

 

 

Q: How often do the Mentorship classes meet weekly and for how long in total?

 

Our standard curriculum is 8 Sessions, 1 hour minimum each Session (soft stop at the end). At that pace, our Engagement will last 2 months. While you are not obliged to take more classes, we recommend 2 to 3 consecutive Engagements to truly catapult your career. Or put another way, there’s only so much I can teach in one offering – and learning is a lifelong affair. 

 

 

Q: How do Reschedules Work

 

Real life comes at you fast, so you may Reschedule your upcoming Class to be pushed back 1 week, at the same hour. You can manually request a Reschedule ahead of time or they may automatically trigger if you are late over 15 minutes. You are allowed 3 reschedules per Engagement. Once all your Reschedules are used up, that Session is simply missed and we will press on. 

 

 

Q: Are there any refunds?

 

You may request a prorated refund up to the 2nd Session or 2nd week, whichever occurs first. The Value of this experience flows both ways, and I want both parties to be comfortable with each other.  After that cutoff period no refunds will be given, excepting emergencies and unforeseen tragedies. 

 

If I cannot make our $100 Discovery Meeting, I’ll attempt to reschedule as many times as is feasible. However, if you miss the $100 Discovery Meeting, the fee is nonrefundable, excepting extreme circumstances.

 

 

Q: Do you have weekend classes?

 

No, I like my weekends too!

 

 

Q: I don’t know if I can do this.
