Step 1 - What do we do at Silver level?

Level 2 Qualification.

Arts Award Silver is a Level 2 qualification on the Regulated Qualifications

Arts Award qualifications are regulated by Ofqual (Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation) in England, CCEA Regulation in Northern Ireland and by Qualifications Wales.  The awarding organisation is Trinity College London (TCL).  Arts Award is managed by Trinity College London in association with Arts Council England.

What is a Level two qualification?

Arts Award Silver will require your child to be able to work to the same standard and complexity as they would for a GCSE qualification. It is not the same size as a GCSE (compare the TQT time above - GCSE has around 200+ hours TQT)

If your child could not manage a GCSE at this stage, then this level would not be suitable for them.  Consider Explore and Bronze as excellent introductions to structured learning and the Arts Award.
