Why families choose Ascend.
Six things that are true of every course we run, at every level.
Project-Based Learning
Hands-on experience with real-world projects that build a portfolio, not just a grade.
Industry Mentors
Learn from people actively working in the gaming and esports industries, not career teachers.
Career Placement
Dedicated career support and connections with companies in the industry.
Cutting-Edge Curriculum
Courses updated to match what the industry is actually hiring and building for.
Specialised Tracks
Multiple pathways, so a learner can go deep in the subject that fits them.
State-of-the-Art Facilities
Professional gaming setups and training facilities, not a repurposed classroom.
What we teach.
One subject fully built out, two more on the way.

Hands-on robotics builds, hardware first. One course today, with more levels on the way.

Artificial Intelligence

Who's behind it.
