  • Is this course for you?

    The Creative Industries course is a great introduction for 14yrs + school age students to transition into a college environment and experience a range of creative and digital skills practices including those found in art, performing arts, digital media, music production & performance, computing and the web. In addition, you will build up your maths and English skills, in readiness to progress onto our Level 1 course, and in undertaking maths and English GCSE in readiness to progress onto our 16+ courses.

    Students should be creative and looking to experiment and practice new skills, learning from their mistakes and exploring the opportunities the creative sector can provide. Students who have completed the Entry 3 have often gone onto our next level courses and progressed onto our fulltime further educational study programmes with positive success.

  • Required qualifications
