IT Support at Escape Studios

IT Dept: 2nd floor at 190 High Holborn
How does IT support work at Escape Studios? IT problems are a feature of modern life, endlessly frustrating - but always solvable in the end. We have a great IT team at Escape who are always willing to out staff and students.  

We also have technical support from Pearson, our parent company. So, depending on what has gone wrong, and what you need, there are a number of ways to get help.

IT at Escape Studios
Start at Myhub
IT keeps the technical side of Escape Studios on track, making sure that everything works, and all our resources are in place.  Our students depend on dozens of different software licenses to get their work done, as the industry landscape changes and mutates, requiring new licenses for the new tools that help drive the animation and vfx business.  You can find the IT Dept on the Second Floor at 190 High Holborn, in the room facing you as you exit the stairwell.

support@pearsoncollege.com
If it's an Escape Studios local issue, ask for IT support by emailing support@pearsoncollege.com

Pearson MyHub
For Pearson-wide tech issues you can log in to Pearson MyHub and raise a ticket. which has a "chat with technology" button, which can be useful. https://hub.pearson.com
Virtual Tech Hub
Also through MyHub you can book an individual "Virtual Tech Hub" session.  To find this, click on "myHelp" at the top left corner of the screen. You can also raise a ticket at Pearson MyHelp.  To find your personal stuff at Myhub, click on the light blue Windows icon at the top of the screen (see image abiove). 

Pearson IT Support Line 020 7010 5555
For Pearson IT support, including password resets, call the Pearson Tech support line on 020 7010 5555.  This can be useful if you need to reset a password, for example. Sometimes they cannot assist you immediately, but will raise a ticket for you so that a specialist can contact you later.

Email - Use It Or Lose It
Staff at Escape have multiple email addresses, including:
  • an Escape Studios email (ending escapestudios.com)
  • a Pearson email (ending pearson.com)
  • a PCL email (ending pearsoncollege.com)
  • and an MS Teams email.  
We all need to log in regularly to all of these, and make sure that all these email addresses remain live.  Dormant accounts get disconnected, and they can be difficult to revive.  Log in regularly and keep all your accounts alive, especially and most importantly your pearson.com email address.  If your account won't let you in, call the Pearson Tech support line on 020 7010 5555
