Details
How will it be delivered?
Students will follow 5 units broken down into 2 mandatory and 3 specialist units. The focus is on the student demonstrating the skills needed to work as a dancer whilst having a clear understanding of how they fit into the wider performing arts context.
There are 3 units in the first year and 2 units in the second year. 4 units are assessed by the teacher and 1 is external assessed by Pearson. A variety of assessment methods will be used to include case studies, assignments and work-based assessments, along with projects, performance observation and time-constrained assessments.
Each unit has specified criteria which are used for grading. An end of unit grade can be awarded at pass, merit or distinction. The successful completion of the course will result in a Level 3 qualification equivalent to an ‘A’ Level pass.
