Frequency mode: In attendance or Hybrid
In Presence
The traditional format involves daily attendance at in-person classroom lessons. The professor is always present, and activities take place within the academy’s facilities, combining theoretical sessions, workshops, and reviews.
This format encourages direct collaboration with peers and faculty, immediate access to equipment, and an immersive experience in environments designed as real production studios.
Hybrid - ON LINE
To ensure greater flexibility, all courses can also be attended in Hybrid mode, combining online learning with on-campus attendance. Some workshops, reviews, or lab sessions may take place on campus, while other activities can be attended remotely, maintaining constant contact with instructors and classmates.
This model allows students to balance studies, work, and personal needs without sacrificing the quality of education or access to the Side Academy community.

FAQ:
Absolutely, all courses start from the basics, so no artistic or programming skills are required. We want to train new artists regardless of their educational background.
With the HYBRID mode, we allow those who need it to take the course ON-LINE, but to have the opportunity to attend certain labs, workshops or in-person events.
We recommend having a PC or Mac computer at home that can support professional software, so the student can continue projects from home. Those taking the course online also need: an Internet connection, a graphics tablet, micophone for communicating with lecturers and headphones. Optional, however, is a webcam.
