2 Year part time RSL in Acting (level 2 certificate in creative & performing arts) ages 13 yrs+

Are you unable to study GCSE drama at school as it’s not available?  Do you want to take GCSE drama but have too many choices and not enough options?  Is your school limiting the number of arts GCSEs you can take?  Is GCSE drama too written and not practical enough?  Or are you in year 9 and want to get ahead of the game?

Our RSL in Acting qualification is a 2 hour a week class at Lighthouse, Poole, after school over 2 years (72 weeks) allowing students the chance to gain the equivalent to one GGSE.  Time spent outside these 2 hours a week will be minimal so as not to effect or add to school workload.  So whether this could be in addition to GCSEs taken at school or in place of one GCSE, allowing a student to lessen the stress at school or a qualification gained even before GCSEs are taken, this course allows students the freedom to gain a practical qualification with no written exams, alongside the more compulsory, academic choices at school.

This Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA) qualification equips learners with industry-relevant skills that prepares them for the demands of the Creative Industries.
