The course will give you a thorough preparation for the next level of vocational courses, in media, art and design, or graphics. You will express your personal ideas to meet each brief and work on a final project that gives you the opportunity to specialise in particular aspects of art, design and media.
This qualification includes the following units:

· Recording
· Photography
· Textiles
· Using IT creatively.
You will be using a wide variety of media and IT equipment to make a number of media products. To stimulate your work you will visit galleries, exhibitions and other venues. To widen your experience of careers in art and design, you will be shown work from the National Diploma Level courses and meet our current students who will talk about their degree courses.
Other studies include communication skills and a tutorial programme that involves discussion of life skills and experiences as well as supporting you through your studies.
