Digital Media is a key part of many areas of our
everyday lives and vital to the UK economy.
Production of digital media products is a
requirement of almost every business so there is
huge demand for a skilled and digitally literate
workforce.
This qualification will help students develop specific
and transferable skills such as research, planning,
and review, working with others and communicating
creative concepts. The qualification’s hands-on
approach has strong relevance to the way
young people use the technology required in
creative media.
The mandatory units of pre-production and creating digital graphics underpin the qualification and reflect key industry skills. The pre-production skills unit is assessed through an examination and contributes 25% of the marks for the Certificate size qualification.
The wide range of optional units cover different media disciplines allowing you to offer your students a course that will motivate them, appeal to range of learning styles and allow students to demonstrate their ability and passion. Each optional unit is assessed through a practical task-based assessment with OCR-set tasks to support our students in
producing assessment evidence.
