Level 3 Two Year Creative Media Production & Technology

To study at Level 3, you will need an average entry score of 5.0 from your best 6 GCSE subjects, ideally including English and Maths.

You will also be required to show a portfolio of work when you apply. This could include drawings, digital work or creative projects that demonstrate your interest in media production, animation or visual storytelling.

In instances where little or no portfolio and/or performance experience is shown, we will guide you towards the best course to help you build your portfolio and develop the skills and knowledge you need to succeed at higher levels.

This study programme is designed to help you move quickly toward advanced jobs, higher education, or apprenticeship opportunities if you know what you want to do next and meet the entry requirements needed for success.

You’ll build a strong and varied portfolio throughout the course, developing your work across practical projects and creative assignments. Each unit gives you the chance to experiment, refine your ideas and produce work that reflects professional standards.

At the end of each year, you’ll complete a final project, giving you the opportunity to take creative control, develop your personal style and create a body of work that showcases your skills and prepares you for your next step.

By the end of your course, you’ll be ready to take your next step into the media industry or continue your studies at a higher level.

This course opens the door to a range of career paths, including:
• Video production
• Content creation
• Video editing and post-production
• Social media and marketing
• Broadcasting
• Media production

You can progress onto university, higher-level apprenticeships or entry-level roles, using the portfolio you’ve built to move forward with confidence.

There are no fees for this course if you are under 18.

If you are aged 19 or above, please contact us for more information about fees and funding.

You will have the chance to take part in lots of exciting trips and projects. From attending events and exhibitions to visiting film studios, there’s always opportunities for you to continue exploring the latest developments in games, animation and media technology.

You’ll have the opportunity to work collaboratively with local creative studios as you build confidence and your own style. And gain a front row seat to a range of exciting expert talks, where you will meet people from the industry who can help you grow your skillset and network.

Watch on with pride as your work is displayed across a variety of exhibitions and shows throughout the year and gain experience working with real client briefs.

You will also be encouraged to show off your design talents during exciting skills competitions where your artwork will be seen and judged by top industry professionals.
