Education with Unity

80lv: What’s the current situation with Unity education currently? I know a lot of schools use your engine, a lot of people actually rely on Unity in their programs. But where do they seek the courses and the knowledge necessary to start playing with the tool? What’s the go-to place to go?

Jessica Lindl (JL): We believe the world is a better place with more creators in it. As a result, we have invested significantly in creating thousands of courses, tutorials, projects, trainings and certifications across with global distribution. Through this work, we discovered that there was no definitive source for advancing from absolute beginner to expert level across all industries and decided to bring all of this work together on our Unity Learn Platform.

80lv: It seems like in today’s market most of the knowledge available for free for Unity professionals is very basic. It’s not often that we see tutorials and explanations that go really in-depth, especially in art production. How do you guys approach this problem and attempt to solve it with your problem?

JL: Until now, there wasn’t a definitive learning resource for learning intermediate or advanced Unity skills, particularly for professionals in industries beyond gaming.

Unity users working on specific projects or tasks are busy professionals who want up-to-date, on-demand learning resources at their fingertips. They don’t have time to search for or evaluate the quality and relevance of learning content (i.e. culling through Google searches or YouTube comments). They also want access to updated learning content to help them learn how to use the latest Unity editor features and releases.

Learners seek access to experts, both within a community and from Unity. They value the immediacy of interacting with peers and experts in real-time. They want to be able to ask questions and feel the answers are provided with the experience and know-how of advanced Unity skills.

Unity Learn Premium is our answer to these problems. We’re offering professionals the most comprehensive source of learning content to advance their Unity knowledge and skills within their industry.
