EXPRESSIONS CREATIVE ARTS PROGRAMME Arts Award Discover Entry 2 / Arts Award Explore Entry 3
Venue: Alton Campus Duration: 1 year/2 years
Teaching & Learning You will be taught by a small team of teachers and classes will be supported by Learning Support Assistants. You will complete assignments to build a portfolio of evidence to achieve the Trinity College Arts Award (Discover and/or Explore). The assessments will consist of both practical and written tasks. As part of the course, you will be involved in various productions/performances demonstrating the skills you have developed during your time on the course. This will mean that, on occasion, you may be required to work ‘unsociable’ hours due to evening performances or work experience in theatres. Assessment You will generate a portfolio of evidence through different means. Progression Students will be able to progress to a more vocational programme of study or a Supported Internship course to find a pathway toward a successful, independent adulthood. Entry Requirements No formal qualifications or previous experience is required, but a good attitude to learning is important, as is a keen interest in the creative arts.
