WHAT WILL I STUDY?

The BTEC Level 2 TECH Awards is an extensive and exciting 2 year course, delivered by highly
qualified teaching staff who cover different aspects of the Performing Arts Musical Theatre
programme through teaching of technical skills used in vocational contexts. The Musical Theatre
Pathway is a practical course enabling students to develop and extend their dance, vocal, acting
techniques and performance skills, as well as their understanding of the performing arts world.
This specialist programme is aimed at students who are passionate about developing their Musical
Theatre skills, knowledge and understanding. Students should have a high standard of focus,
creativity, commitment and motivation.

Over the two years students will specialise in developing their performance techniques through
a range of disciplines including singing, dance acting as well as extensively developing their
collaborative and solo performance skills. In addition, students will also learn about working in
