Who this course is for

This qualification is suitable for adult learners who wish to develop skills and knowledge in craft. This course is open to all learners aged 19+. There are no specific recommended prior learning requirements for this qualification. However, learners may find it helpful if they've already achieved a Level 1 qualification.

The qualification will cover three units:

  • Use materials, tools and equipment to develop craft techniques
  • Develop craft ideas
  • Create, present and evaluate final craft item

Learners will study a variety of crafts. The final project will be the learner's individual choice of medium. Learners will be asked to carry out a visit to a gallery, shop or craft workshop in their own time to supplement their research.
