About Valor

What is the Valor Esports Training Platform?

Valor is an esports training platform for schools. It provides structured technical training programs, assessments, and wellbeing reporting so esports becomes a purposeful educational training program instead of just free play.

The Valor Esports training platform allows educators to train and coach students in esports without knowing how to play the game themself. View Valor Esports for more information.

Technical Information

What are the platform access and compatibility details?

Web-based SaaS platform (no heavy installs needed)
Compatible with Windows, Mac, and Chromebooks

Student and teacher accounts are separate, with teacher dashboards used to manage progress.

Is Valor the game itself?

No, Valor is separate from the games. Think of it like a fitness app where students watch and follow the training, then perform it themselves in the game or in the guided exercises. The platform provides structured lessons, drills, and assessments, but the gameplay happens on a gaming device.

Do schools need to install anything extra?

Valor itself is web-based; no heavy installs are required.
Students still need the game installed on their devices, and devices must meet the minimum system requirements for each game.
