About this course

Free BTEC Level 3 Creative Digital Media Production Course in Hillingdon. Classes run full-time at De Salis Studio College, five days a week during the day. The course takes two years to complete. You'll study creative and technical skills across digital media production, covering areas such as video, photography, audio, and digital design. To enrol, you'll need at least five GCSEs at grades 9 to 4, including grade 4 or above in both English and Maths.

Who this course is for

Pupils age 16 that have completed their GCSEs. Please see our full post 16 course prospectus from our website: https://www.therosedalehewensacademytrust.co.uk/

Entry requirements

A minimum of 5 GCSES grades 9-4, including a Grade 4 in GCSE English and a Grade 4 in GCSE Mathematics.

What you will learn

  • You'll develop skills in video production, from planning through to editing and post-production.
  • You'll learn how to create and edit digital photography for professional contexts.
  • You'll explore audio production techniques, including recording and sound design.
  • You'll produce digital design work using industry-standard software and tools.
  • You'll plan and manage creative media projects from brief to final output.
  • You'll build an understanding of the creative industries and how they operate.

How you will learn

Learning is classroom based, with practical project work at the centre. Assessment is through assignments and a portfolio of creative work rather than written exams. You'll complete units set by Pearson Edexcel, building a body of evidence across the two years. Teachers give feedback throughout so you can develop and improve your work before final submission.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. De Salis Studio College will confirm anything else you need before you start.
