These qualifications have been designed to help learners understand aspects of the media industry and to develop the skills and knowledge required for further study or employment in the industry.

Many learners are interested in films, animation and photography as a result of the relatively easy access to the internet. These units give centres the opportunity to develop learner’s employability skills through units of interest and skills such as time management and teamwork.

Centres are encouraged to include as many visits as possible to a wide range of media venues, to enable learners to observe and participate.
