Curriculum
This is a creative course in which students will learn how to develop techniques and skills that are relevant across the creative sector.
This qualification has been specifically devised to provide learners with an introduction to developing personal creativity in an area of art, design or craft.
The portfolio-based approach to assessment will also support the development of communication skills such as teamwork, working from a prescribed brief, working to deadlines, presenting information effectively, accurately completing tasks and processes and study skills such as research and time management. These skills will help support progression to level 2 and any future chosen course.
