If you enjoy a lot of very practical involvement in the Performing Arts, especially being involved in all aspects of putting on a performance then this is the course for you. It could provide a qualification for going on to a Performing Arts related course in Higher Education, or direct entry to the Performing Arts industry. Students who have already completed the course have been very successful in moving into both areas.

- Extensive previous experience in one or more PA subjects is essential but you do not necessarily need a GCSE in a PA subject but they must have extensive experience as performers. A Grade 4 in English is essential. - 6 x grade 4 GCSEs in a range of subjects to include English and Maths
Assessment by practical assessment, coursework and written exam.
