You will have the opportunity to study a variety of units covering various aspects of including: Producing a Music Recording, Working in the Music Industry, Exploring Music Composition & Working as a Musical Ensemble.
There is a Major Production Project that is equvalent to two units and provides learners with the opportunity to apply the skills they have developed in the planning and production of a final music project that could be a recording or a gig.

Applicants need to have an interest and some skills in music performance and production as well as the ability to work with other music students on group projects.
A minimum of 4 GCSEs at grade 9 – 3 including a grade 4 in either maths or English and a Level 1 qualification.
You will need to pass all the units to achieve the qualification. There are no exams and assessment takes the form of both practical assessment and written work.
