Why Arts Award?
Arts Award qualifications are designed to inspire learners and to grow their arts and leadership talents. Most of all, they aim to support and encourage learners of all levels and abilities and from all backgrounds and cultures to engage and participate in the arts. This qualification offers a variety of ways to approach creative and wider skills development, that can be tailored to the centre, adviser and learners. Through Arts Award, learners will achieve a national qualification that will build confidence through nurturing their individual interests, while also equipping them with life skills that will support their education and future employment.
