  • Acting
  • Devising

What will I achieve?
The opportunity to progress to the BTEC National course. If you are looking for work the course will build your confidence and give you communication skills that prove valuable, along with team work, initiative and problem-solving. These are all the skills that employers welcome.

How is the course assessed?
Four internally-assessed and moderated specialist units and one double unit bringing all of your acquired skills together for external assessment. The course is very practical but you will be expected to produce evidence of your work throughout which may be in the form of a log book, video or sound recording.
