Level 3 T-Level in Creative and Design: Content Creation and Production
T Levels are courses for 16 to 18 year olds that are studied at the same level as A Levels. They are for young people who prefer a more technical education when they come to College, rather than following a purely academic pathway, or a work-based apprenticeship. They are a two-year programme that combine classroom theory, practical learning and a minimum of 45 days industry placement with an employer.
During the two-year programme, you will learn the core knowledge that underpins each industry and will also develop occupationally specific skills that will allow you to enter skilled employment within a specific occupation.
This two-year course has been developed in collaboration with a number of established employers, practitioners and providers from across the sector to advance the technical qualification that will underpin the media, broadcast and production skills you will gain and develop. The input from employers is vital to ensuring the technical qualification reflects the needs required within the sector.
The course gives you the opportunity to learn core principles of the media industry and essential theories, alongside developing your professional and technical skills. This will be balanced with practical work in our studios and creative classrooms to build further technical skills. You will get the chance to work in two forms of media including, but not limited to, moving/still image, audio and written word. This will allow you to specialise in your area of interest within the Media Content Creation and Production sector and study topics such as:

This course ensures you can rival all students with a unique blend of both academic and industry experience and a work placement giving you the real-world skills you require for future employment.
This specialist course will also allow you to develop literacy and numeracy skills, as well as a number of transferable skills in communication (working with peers, clients and customers) and undertake research and live project development work.
