However, it is not just about gaining skills that can only be used in this sector. The course will give students the knowledge, understanding and skills that they need to prepare for employment. The qualification will offer potential career paths for progression to higher education and degree programmes within the same or related areas of studies, as well as opportunities for full-time employment in the industry.
