Length of Study
Two Years
Entry Requirements
Cost
You are advised to buy steel toe boots, hard hat, protective gloves and overalls (approx 35) for personal safety. Providing a personal 'Tech tool kit' which can be used both in & out of college would be a good idea (details provided upon commencement). You are expected to provide normal learning materials such as stationery.
The Programme
This is a vocational course in Production Arts (production support for theatre), equivalent to three A Levels for UCAS, which is assessed continuously across two years.
The Programme Content
The course is split into 18 units or modules. The modules all relate to Production Arts, but some cover aspects you may not have thought of. You may study Production for Theatre performance, Production Planning, Historical Context of Performance, Performing Arts Business, Performing Arts Production Workshop, Front-of-House, Assistant and Deputy Stage Management, Stage Management, Technical Stage Operations, Stage Lighting and Sound Operations, Prop Making, Scenic Construction and Painting for the Stage and a selection of other units. You will be providing all aspects of technical and production support for various different performance courses ranging from dance to darma and musical theatre productions.
Progression / Careers
Students from the BTEC National Diploma have often progressed directly to higher education studying Technical Theatre or Production Arts. Now that we have Foundation Degrees at North Devon College you can continue to a higher level, without the stress and financial hassle of leaving home. Some students in the past have gone straight into the profession (Theatre Technician, production support etc).
