Who this course is for

Have you ever wanted to work in the creative industries? Be your own boss? Get yourself university level education without the debt? Well now’s your chance.

Whether your dream is to work in film or TV, become a freelance journalist, set yourself up as a content creator on social media, launch yourself into the world of PR, marketing, and events management, or even become a published author, then this is the course for you.

This course is designed for individuals eager to break into the creative sector and set up their own projects and launch their own company.

Whilst on the course students will build an impressive portfolio of work, learn how to develop a business model, and how to manage budgetary responsibilities.

This course is perfect for those students aiming to bypass the traditionally university route, and all the associated costs that come with it, and get straight into the world of work as soon as possible.

5x GCSE at grade 4 , including English and maths.

One A level or equivalent Level 3 qualification, such as the extended diploma in creative media production and technology.
