About this course

Free BTEC Level 3 Music Technology Course in Kensington and Chelsea. Classes run at St Charles Catholic Sixth Form College, full-time over two years. You'll develop skills in arranging, composing, producing and recording music, with a focus on contemporary popular music production. The course covers a wide range of popular musical styles and gives you the chance to work on projects in an industry-related context. It carries the same weight as two A levels, supporting progression to university or employment in the music industry.

Who this course is for

The specification supports a curriculum where learners are encouraged to continually revisit their approaches to making and understanding music, refining their skills, adding complexity and exploring new contexts. At the same time, assessment requirements are clearly delineated; this ensures that all learners are being consistently measured to national standards, facilitating progression to university and to employment in the modern music industry.

The Course is the equivalent to 2 A levels.

How you will learn

Assessment is ongoing throughout the two years, measuring your skills consistently as you develop them.
