The Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Certificate in Art and Design is an Applied General qualification. It is equivalent in size to one A Level and has been designed to occupy one third of the curriculum in a broader programme of study, which could include other vocational or academic qualifications. The Extended Certificate is for learners who are interested in learning about the performing arts sector alongside other fields of study with a view to progressing to a wide range of higher education courses, not necessarily in Performing Arts. It is designed to be taken as part of a programme of study that includes other appropriate BTEC Nationals or IB Diploma Courses. Learners will investigate the work of performing arts practitioners, develop critical analysis skills and contextual understanding of how practitioners communicate themes in their work. Learners will explore technical performance skills with a focus on developing and demonstrating skills and techniques in at least two performance styles within a selected discipline.
Minimum of 5 9-4 grades in GCSE examinations including English and Maths
Coursework-based assessment as well as practical assessment. In the 1st unit there is an exam element
