V Certs – Music Technology
Music Technology
Our Level 1/2 Technical Award in Music Technology gives pupils an exciting taste of what it’s like to work in the music industry. Covering a range of topics, from setting up and using a digital audio workstation to planning and undertaking a studio recording session, our Music Technology V Cert provides pupils with the practical skills and knowledge to succeed in this sector.
This qualification is approved for KS4 Performance Tables in 2024, 2025 and 2026.
V Cert Technical Awards are designed to be delivered over two years. The first year of delivery is entirely dedicated to teaching and learning, with all summative assessments taking place in the final year of study. The Music Technology V Cert Technical Award is assessed by Non-Exam Assessment (60%) and Examined Assessment (40%).
