If you want to take your performance and skills to an advanced level then this BTEC National Diploma is for you. It enables students to reach A Level standard through coursework based assessment. The course is made up of eighteen units - five core units; Performance Workshop, The Performing Arts Business, Performing Arts in Context, Rehearsing, Performing (major project and a double value unit) and specialist units.
The specialist units enable you to study particular areas in depth. They include TV and Film Acting, Script Writing, Contemporary Theatre Performance and Acting. All units are assessed through practical assignments and graded and an overall grade for the qualification awarded.
This qualification is an excellent preparation for further study in Performing Arts, including study on a degree or HND course. While it is expected that most students would progress onto further study in a related area, the BTEC National Diploma could also be used to support entry to employment.
Qualification explained
BTECs are practical, work-related courses. You learn by completing projects and assignments that are based on realistic workplace situations, activities and demands. As well as learning about the employment area you have chosen, you develop the skills you need to start a career. The BTEC National Diploma is equivalent to three A Levels which means when you have finished the course you can choose whether to get a job straight away or go into Higher Education first. A BTEC National Award is equivalent to one A Level so it can be combined with other subjects. A BTEC First Diploma introduces you to the employment area you have chosen and provides a good basis to go on to a more advanced work-related qualification. A BTEC First Diploma is equivalent to four GCSEs grades A* to C and is normally taken at college as a full-time course.
