    Hi,
    i passed the Exam on 12th of march in Krefeld/Germany.
    Truth be told: I´m a little sad about that i got nothing except a self-printed diploma without number made on a printer with a broken printhead.
    No goodies, nothing heard since then.. Truly disappoints me after paying 2800€ for the live course and exam.
    So i´m waiting for my diploma with Number on it to make something for my Wall (by myself) to show and be proud of. How long will this usually take? 18 Days ago they told me in one week?

    Thanks,
    Ben

    The true gift is the knowledge you got on the way.

    *cough*

    I was wishing something from Unity ( a Unity certification paper), something like this with Unity Team autograph in it!

    Me too but they don´t care. No reply to emails to me personally. No reply here..
    They Academy where i did it was told they simply decided to not longer do these. Instead you get a link...
    I would be happier if i only would have done a 10 Bucks Udemy course instead of +2k€ for the official course..

    Is hard to find a well-done course. The Unity Developer Course was probably the best one I could found and also the old: 3dbuzz about physics in Unity. The Unity video tutorials in the learning section are so well done that is difficult to bit them.

    Really? Truly don´t want to do bad talk course i´m angry, but the unity courseware was hard to understand and follow for me as not native english speaking person. It´s sometimes hard to understand that guy.
    Thats one of the reasons why i also did the live course in Germany.
    I also learned much from "Pass the Unity Certified Developer Exam" on Udemy cause Ben speaks a much clearer english and the course is very well organized.

    Totally agree. I´m also angry but becoming angry does not help anybody :cool:.

    Unity I'm so sorry but in this case, I just ask PayPal for a refund because after 7 days I realize I was not able to follow the teacher and there was no content left. He speaks clearly with good English but sometimes was very fast then he pauses and at the end of the important sentences, he goes so fast that eats some of the words. Fortunately, there was the text. And... Also, the explanation is failing because is so condensed that in some cases there is no explanation. For example, You know, is an Advance course! you should know what =| 1 << layer is ! lol :confused: . You should think to make a gride for large games. Looks like there was no time to explain. And It shows you what you should know and In much of the cases, we know already that content.

    From beginner to intermediate, Unity Learning section is making Excellent!
    And the pay courses are failing to take the user from intermediate to advance (is missing) for each specialisation. The Keynote is filling that gap but is scattered in the internet.
    Anyway thanks for listening!

    Well, its hard to be happy if you pay around 2300€ for something and don't get what you expected cause no one told that they changed their minds before taking my money. Then you don't get an answer to emails when asking.. + there are no refunds...
    It just feels like getting fooled..

    Also i did not speak about the learning section on the website, that is totally fine. Even if not, its free so who cares.
    I spoke about the courseware for unity certified developer. I truly learned much better from the Udemy Course.

    Anyway great that there is something for everybody to learn well, but sad that Unity doesn't understand how important good rewards are.
    My failure was that i just did it cause i wanted the reward, i don't need certified Dev for anything else.. Just did it for me.

    IMO, don't waste money on useless certifications.

    before that, just read the comments on this forum addressing the courses, and decide it yourself.
