They will develop creativity by producing original music and exploring how digital media skills connect to real working environments. Alongside creative work, learners will improve their English, maths, digital literacy and employability skills, including writing a CV, preparing job applications and developing workplace confidence. The course supports personal development, creative expression and preparation for future progression.
