dont worry no offence taken, I think escape is far too expensive. That's 750€ a week!! I went to bournmouth last year got one year's experience (and a job at the end of it!! ) for £2500 go figure, I know there are extra costs in living somewhere for a year but I got a much rounder eductaion and a masters degree at the end of it. Have 10 weeks intensive maya is all well and good but unless you undertake a big project and do lots of problem solving and really figure it out a bit then I dont see that it's worth it.... if I had to hire a td (for example) and I had someone with 10 weeks intensive knowledge of maya or someone with 1 year's knowledge and a master's degree (not taking showreel into account but i would imagine the master's one would be better due to the amount of time available) i know who I would pick.

However in saying that this industry doesnt care what qualifications you've got as long as you can do the job...

in saying all this though I'm sure the escape teaching is first class
