Our online tutorials are intended to complement our classroom studies, allowing students at Escape Studios to recap, or catch up on work they missed, while following a tutorial in their own time.
Video Tutorials
One of our priorities at Escape Studios is to have a series of video tutorials to cover everything, or almost everything, that we teach in the classroom. It's a system of blended learning, incorporating the best of traditional classroom study and virtual learning, part of what we call The Escape Method, designed to maximise our students' chances of breaking into the industry and beginning a long-term career in their chosen field.
