I don't know about RAC, but I'm generally kind of wary of those types of institutions. They seem to focus on learning the tools of the day. In my humble opinion, if you want to go into video games, learn the fundamentals. Tools come and go, but the fundamentals you can always rely on. Study computer science, fine arts, film or whatever is applicable to what you want to do in the video game industry. While studying, build up a portfolio. This will allow you to apply what you are learning in school to tools used in industry while actually creating something tangible you can demonstrate to prospective employers. Create an independent game or two, by yourself or with a group. You could do an unreal mod, make an XNA game, or put something together from scratch. Just my two cents on the topic. I'd be interested in hearing what others have to say.
