Aimed at GCSE students, this course covers all material, as well as all exam technique required for success. Students also learn key skills such as time management and critical analysis.
This intensive GCSE Media Studies course completes the GCSE Media Studies programme in one term via fourteen two-hour lessons. Timings are crucial. For example, if the student embarks upon the course in term one or early in term two, then it's recommended that two further two-hour revision sessions are added close to the exams. Exams will take place throughout the duration of study. It is envisaged that this course would be undertaken by high-level ability learners completely outside of the classroom as an additional GCSE to those already being studied. It is also possible that a student who, for any reason, has not been able to complete their studies in the classroom can enrol on this course. It is also expected that some learners may need additional hours over and beyond two hours of lessons for fourteen weeks.
