Education for a changing world
56
For the units being delivered as part of the certificate course, students may join the extended diploma
class for their designated times a week. This will allow them the opportunity to work with a wide range of
their peers whilst still studying other A Level subjects.
This is a demanding course and there is a huge emphasis on independent learning from the students.
Students need to be enthusiastic, focused and determined from the outset. It should be noted that
students must take responsibility for their own learning and progress to some extent on this type of
vocational course; the level of teacher assistance can impact on the grades awarded to students.
Units to be studied include:
Unit 1 – Media Representations (externally assessed)
Unit 4 – Pre–Production
Unit 8 – Responding to a Commission (externally assessed)
Unit 10 – Film Fiction
ASSESSMENT
There are 2 external assessments. These will be sat in exam-like conditions, but carried out in the
classroom. One consists of an online exam; the other is responding to material provided by Edexcel in a
vocational context within a strict time constraint. All coursework must also be completed and passed.
