Level 1 Diploma in Digital Technologies

The Digital Technologies (Media Pathway) Level 1 Diploma is designed for learners who are interested in using technology creatively and want to explore a range of digital media skills. It suits those who enjoy practical, hands‑on learning and are looking for an introduction to creative digital work before progressing to further study or training. 

Throughout the course, learners explore different areas of digital media production, building practical skills in video production and editing, animation, photography, web design, sound and radio. Learners also develop an understanding of digital publishing, helping them see how creative content is produced, edited and shared across different platforms. 

Learning is project‑based and encourages creativity, experimentation and confidence when working with digital tools. Alongside creative media skills, the course supports the development of maths and English in relevant, applied contexts. By the end of the course, learners will have gained a range of introductory digital skills and a better understanding of creative media pathways. This qualification provides a supportive stepping stone into further digital or creative media courses, helping learners build confidence and direction for their next stage of learning.
