Post-16 Curriculum
Our curriculum gives students the opportunity to progress through a number of vocational units that make up the Level 1 Certificate and Diploma in the Creative Music Industry. Each qualification includes core units linked to projects and optional units that help them gain essential skills such as composing, recording, streaming and podcasting, arranging songs, collaborating with other artists and producers, and performance.
Learners can progress through the Level 1 Certificate and have the option to progress with further units to the Diploma with the aim of heading into both Further and Higher Education, building the knowledge and skills to work in the Creative Industries sector beyond education. As well as this, they will have the opportunity to complete and pass Level 1 and Entry 3 Functional Skills Math’s and English Qualifications to ensure smooth transition into further education.
