The full 2-year course is equivalent in size to three A Levels. There are 15 units over two years, 5 of which are mandatory.
This qualification is intended for post-16 learners wanting to progress directly to employment in the esports industry and other related industries. It supports progression to higher education programmes related to esports, and other related programmes.
The diploma is a 1-year program with the option of progression on to an extended diploma which is highly recommended. This would be another 1-year program that provides you with more UCAS points. These points would allow you to continue your studies at university.

Minimum grade 4 in both English and maths.
Progression onto the second year of the course is required if studying at university is what you want to do, one year doesn’t provide enough UCAS points to be able to study at university. Once both years of the course have been studied there are progression opportunities to go onto university as well as jobs or apprenticeships within esports and other areas of expertise. The sea of jobs within esports is very vast and can be adapted into most job roles.
