The BTEC Level 2 TECH Award is an intensive and exciting 2 year course, delivered by highly qualified teaching staff who cover different aspects of the Performing Arts Musical Theatre programme through the 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 and acting as well as extensively developing their collaborative and solo performance skills.  In addition, students will also learn about working in the performing arts industry, and the jobs and opportunities available in this sector.
