What the college says

This course is accredited by the University of the Arts London (UAL).The UAL Awarding Body Level 1 Award in Art, Design and Media is designed to provide an opportunity for those with an interest in art, design and media to explore materials, methods and processes that support many art, design and media activities, and to begin to develop related skills. The qualification structure provides a linked introduction to broader art, design and media contexts. It is intended that this initial experience of art, design and media activity will provide students with an early test of their commitment and interest in the subject. It will also measure their ability to sustain a focused exploration of the skills, knowledge and understanding for progression within art, design and media education. Study for the qualification is not time-constrained, but will normally be over a period of three to five weeks.The Level 1 Award in Art, Design and Media can be used as a precursor to the Level 1 Diploma. The Level 1 Diploma in Art, Design and Media is designed to build on the skills, knowledge and understanding acquired through the Award and to provide an opportunity to explore, develop and test creativity.
