Methods of assessment vary from project to project and can combine research, performance and reflective evaluation. This range reflects the vocational nature of the course and enables students of all learning styles to achieve the best of their ability.
The course is designed to prepare dancers for further training and the demands of the performing arts industry. Our success is demonstrated by an excellent track record of alumni going on to pursue dance at prestigious organisations. These include ArtsEd, Urdang, London Studio Centre, Bird, Performers, Emil Dale, Laine Theatre Arts, IAB, LIPA, and Northern School of Contemporary Dance.
The Level 3 BTEC Extended Diploma carries the equivalent UCAS points to three A Levels. Each course teaches students the professional and personal skills that will help them to move forward on their chosen path, be it continued training or employment. Alongside vocational training, students explore the history and business of the sector, which gives them a clear insight into the opportunities and demands of the creative industry.
Assessment is varied and based on industry-level performance expectations. These include undertaking detailed research, keeping effective rehearsal logs, and analysing and evaluating performance skills.
During the course, students complete a range of assignments, requiring the submission of written, verbal and practical evidence. The resulting portfolio determines the final grade. Detailed feedback is given throughout the programme to ensure that students meet their full potential.
Studying at ArtsEd provides students with contacts and experiences that will give them a clear advantage throughout their careers, in what is an extremely competitive industry.
Our BTEC programmes offer students exciting opportunities to learn in an organisation dedicated to the performing arts, with professional production teams and under expert guidance. Upon completion of the courses, students emerge as confident performers with a clear understanding of the demands of the performing profession.
