The Pearson BTEC National Extended Certificate in Creative Digital Media Production has been developed in consultation with Higher Education and is intended to be an Applied General qualification. It is for post-16 learners wanting to continue their education through applied study and who aim to progress to higher education and ultimately to employment, possibly in the Creative Industries. The qualification is equivalent in size to one A level and makes up one third of a typical study program, normally alongside A levels or other vocational qualifications at level 3. The qualification provides a coherent introduction to the study of creative digital media production at this level. Learners develop an understanding of the media industry through analysing media representations and pitching and producing media projects. It is designed for post-16 learners who aim to progress to higher education and ultimately to employment, possibly in the Media Industries, as part of a programme of study alongside other BTEC Nationals or A levels. There is no AS level qualification and both Year 12 and 13 need to be completed in order to gain the qualification.
A minimum of 5 GCSE passes at grade 5 and above is preferred.
Examination arrangements and weightings: 360 GLH. Equivalent in size to one A Level. 4 units of which 3 are mandatory and 2 are external.
