CCEA Certificates in Performance Skills are available at Level 1 and Level 2. Learners can extend their skills, knowledge and understanding of the entertainment industry, develop their own strengths and interests, and progress to giving a final performance.

We have worked closely with relevant bodies supporting this qualification, and a student workbook is available for learners to record their outcomes. This can help both the tutor and the learner to identify and meet the specification requirements.

This qualification builds on the knowledge, understanding and skills developed through the Area of Learning The Arts.

There is no written external examination or test; the qualification is entirely evidence based. All units are internally assessed, and we carry out external moderation.

Learners produce a portfolio of work and give a performance. Learners’ final rehearsal and performance may be externally moderated as a live performance or pre-recorded using video or DVD.

There are three mandatory units:

• Unit 1: Working in the Performing Arts Industry
• Unit 2: Develop Technique for Performance
• Unit 3: Rehearse and Perform.
