Level 1 Introductory Diploma in Digital Media is our foundation course that facilitates the first year of college for learners who may not have the entry grades needed for Levels 2 or 3.
The course is structured to give you experience in digital project creation, website development, database and personal management skills, alongside producing adverts with photographic and video work. Over the one-year course, you will be given opportunities to learn and explore a set of subject areas that leads onto Level 2 studies in Creative Media Production, Computing and Games or Art and Design.
Level 2 Diploma in Creative Media Production welcomes learners who want to learn more about the media industry and develop a fundamental portfolio of photography and video work. The course is structured to work in harmony with GCSE Maths and English, which you can complete alongside Media.
You will get the opportunity to test out and develop a varied set of abilities, gain knowledge and carry out practical work in photography, web design, short film creation and scriptwriting.
Throughout the one-year course, you will get to know your preferred specialism in either TV and Film or Photography, ready to move on to Level 3 in one of those specialisms.
