Pathways to Digital & Creative Tech
(Level 3)
How can young people build skills, confidence, and direction by working on real digital and creative productions?
Our Level 3 programme is designed to help young people build skills, confidence, and direction through real creative and digital projects. Students earn recognised quals while gaining practical experience that prepares them for further study or employment.
Programme Overview
Learning is project-based and collaborative. Instead of working on separate assignments, learners take part in a shared creative production using Unreal Engine. This allows students to learn within a real project while being supported to understand structure, roles, and workflows.
Across Life Administration & Self Care, Content Design, Coding Applications & Artificial Intelligence, and Game Development, learners build skills by working together, trying ideas, receiving feedback, and improving their work over time. With guided support and mentorship, students develop practical digital skills while learning how to communicate, collaborate, and contribute as part of a creative team.
Through collaboration, iteration, and guided mentorship, learners develop technical skills while gaining experience in teamwork, feedback, and real‑world production workflows.
