ADDITIONAL STUDENT INFORMATION

FULL COURSE PRIVATE OR ONLINE
Besides the 38 classes, you will receive several extras as a Full Course Year 2 student. Including free studio time throughout the school year, free access to all of our events including guest workshops & masterclasses as well as discounts on software and hardware.
It is not possible to exclusively pursue Full Course Year 2 through private lessons. While you will have the benefit of 8 Private Lessons, a significant portion of this course involves lessons that are best suited for a group setting or a larger audience. This structure is intentional, allowing for a more dynamic and collaborative learning experience. Rest assured, the 8 private lessons are strategically incorporated to provide ample personal guidance tailored to your individual needs and goals.

The Full Course Advanced is scheduled when there are at least 8 students enrolled. It will take time on Wednesdays from 19:00 – 22:00.

The study load for this Course is 15 hours per week. The study load can vary per student and includes the hours of lessons to be followed at our school. During a free intake you can ask our teachers and/or management for more information about the study load and further content of this Course!
