Course summary

Are you creative? Are you interested in media products and how they are produced? Would you like the opportunity to create your own media texts? If so, then the Cambridge Technical Extended Certificate in Digital Media could be for you. The Cambridge Technical Extended Certificate in Digital Media is aimed at people who enjoy learning about the media, as well as creating media products. The course has been designed to provide a high quality alternative to A levels, and is industry and university-recognised. You will develop creative and academic skills, knowledge and understanding of the media industry, together with the processes, values, and job roles involved. The aims of the course are to: • develop theoretical and technical knowledge; • develop key skills required in the production of media texts; • develop professional and social skills through interaction with performers, clients and peers; • encourage creativity through the design and production of media products. Over the two years, you will complete six units. Two of these units are external assessments, whilst the other four are internally assessed through the completion of practical projects. The six units are diverse and will develop a range of skills in the creation of products, including social media marketing and advertising. 50% of assessment is through coursework, so will require you to have the ability to meet deadlines. From the outset, you are assessed at A level standard, so expectations are high; but you will receive excellent support from both teaching and technical support staff.
