About this course

Free BTEC Level 3 Creative Digital Media Production Course in Tamworth. Classes run full-time at Landau Forte Academy Tamworth Sixth Form, over two years. You don't need a media background to start. You will need a grade 4 or above in GCSE English. The level 3 BTEC creative digital media production classes cover the skills and knowledge needed to progress to higher education or work in the creative industries. You'll study alongside other BTEC Nationals or A levels as part of a broader programme.

Who this course is for

Students do not need to have studied a Media related course previously. However, well developed literacy skills are essential for success. The course is designed for post-16 learners who aim to progress to higher education and ultimately to employment, possibly in the creative industries, as part of a programme of study alongside other BTEC Nationals or A levels.

Entry requirements

Grade 4 or above in GCSE English

What you will learn

  • You'll develop practical skills in digital media production across a range of formats and platforms.
  • You'll learn to plan, produce, and evaluate creative media projects.
  • You'll study the principles of visual communication and storytelling.
  • You'll build written and analytical skills through media-focused assignments.
  • You'll explore the creative industries, including how they operate and what employers expect.
  • You'll work on briefs that reflect real production processes used in the sector.

How you will learn

The Pearson Edexcel BTEC National Foundation Diploma is assessed through coursework and assignments rather than traditional exams. You'll complete units assessed by your centre, with some units externally assessed by Pearson Edexcel. Learning takes place in the classroom, with project-based work central to the course. Written tasks, practical production work, and portfolio evidence all contribute to your final grade.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Landau Forte Academy Tamworth Sixth Form will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Jobs you could do

  • Video producer: plan and create video content for brands or media outlets.
  • Social media content creator: produce digital content across platforms.

  • Digital marketing assistant: support campaigns using media production skills.

What you could study next

A Level 3 BTEC National Foundation Diploma is typically the first step toward a full BTEC National Diploma or Extended Diploma in a creative media subject, which carries more UCAS points for university applications. From there, you could apply for a degree in Film Production, Media Studies, Graphic Design, or a related creative subject. Some learners also move into Higher National Certificates (HNC) or Higher National Diplomas (HND) as a more vocational route into the creative industries.
