These qualifications have been designed to provide learners with the skills, knowledge and understanding necessary to progress to further education or training in related subject areas or to gain fundamental creative skills that are valued in other subject areas.
There are five key context areas which are covered for all assessments.
These are Investigation, Communication, Practical Skills, Development and
Approach. Learners will explore technical skills such as designing narrative and
gameplay, asset production and publishing.
All learners who successfully achieve on this course will be awarded a
BTEC Level 2 Extended Certificate in Creative Media Skills which is accredited
by the awarding body, Pearson.
The college provides access to the Adobe Creative Suite which can be
accessed from home when you enrol on the course and complete your
induction.
To join the course, potential learners will need two GCSEs grade 3 or above,
and
GCSE English Language and GCSE Maths (one grade 4 or above, the other
grade 3 or above).
Alternatively, returning learners with a relevant level 1 qualification
at Merit grade, with English and Maths at an appropriate level, and a
recommendation from their tutor will be considered.
Learners will be assessed using different methods including practical assessments, demonstrations, presentations and an individual project. All learner work is internally assessed and externally moderated.
It is anticipated that learners who successfully complete this course will progress to a suitable Level 3 offering such as T Level Digital Software Design. Some learners may pursue apprenticeship avenues, seek full-time employment or secure alternative Level 3 provision.
IT equipment required for the course is provided by the College. However, it would be an advantage if learners have an appropriate device (PC/Mac, Laptop, Tablet) at home for independent study.
The purpose of this course is to support learners to transition from Level 2 to an appropriate T-Level at Level 3 or an alternative Level 3 provision.
The course is designed to provide learners with the skills, knowledge and
