Pupils studying esports in Scottish Borders school
Selkirk High School in the Scottish Borders has introduced an esports qualification, that seven pupils are planning to take.
The new National Progression Award (NPA) in Esports, which is equivalent to a Higher, provides an overview of the esports industry.
It serves as a starting point for learners who want a career in the sector.
"When I first looked at the course I thought this was a strange course I wouldn't expect to be at school," says Alfie, one of the students taking the esports course.
"But then I thought wow, this is really exciting."
The course is about studying the background and history of esports - and exploring the opportunities of the multi-billion pound global industry.
