Apprentices will also develop the following transferable skills which are embedded across the units:

The course is a mixture of theory and practical workshop sessions. Theory is delivered and assessed through assignments, tasks and externally set examinations. Paying clients will offer a realistic working environment in which to put theory knowledge into practice and the practical elements of the course will be assessed through observation and oral questioning. Through this learners will build up a portfolio of evidence of the work that they have completed.

– independent/self-employed/mobile/home-based settings
– television, film, theatre and media
– armed services
– HM prison service
