About this course

Free Level 2 Creative Media Course in Stratford-upon-Avon. Classes run at Stratford-upon-Avon College, full-time during the day.

The course covers video production, audio production, interactive media, and editing. You'll work on practical assignments, building a showreel of films and photography. You'll also have the chance to resit GCSE Maths or English if you need to. The course runs over one year.

You'll finish with a Level 2 Diploma in Creative Media Production and Technology, awarded by University of the Arts London.

Who this course is for

On successful completion of the course you will be qualified to enrol onto further studies at Level 3. Most Level 2 Media graduates move onto the Level 3 Creative Media, but some also move onto other Arts courses such as Acting, Animation and Music. Apprenticeships are also a common progression route for those completing the Level 2 course and students over the age of 18 have the choice to progress into employment, should they chose to do so.
