The Diploma in Creative and Media aims to provide a fully-rounded education that combines classroom study with learning by doing in a practical environment. It will provide students with vital life skills and develop their readiness for the workplace.

In creating the Diploma, Skillset, lead Sector Skills Council in the Diploma Development Partnership (DDP) for Creative and Media, has aimed to achieve the following:

• To devise a programme that develops the essential skills and capabilities that meet employer needs, incorporating employer engagement in ways that enhance the applied work-oriented learning.
• To ensure that there is clear progression into and beyond the Diploma, by defining clear progression routes and by meeting the entry requirements of Higher Education.
• To provide a viable alternative to the existing curriculum at 14-19, giving more choice to young people and the opportunity to engage with learning in innovative and creative ways.
