What will I be doing? In A Level textiles you will create many practical pieces where you will learn skills in fabric printing and weaving and garment construction. Projects are based on the design of fabrics and products for the fashion and textile industry. You will visit professional fashion and textiles collections and work with professional practitioners in this field. How will success help me to continue with my education or secure a good career? An A level in textiles will qualify you to follow a range of higher education courses. Our art and design students often progress to degree courses in art & design, specialising in one or more of the following areas: fine art; fashion; graphic design; interior design or textiles. You can also use what you have learnt in art and design to help you in other degree courses. Both courses might lead you to consider employment in design studios, exhibitions, the printing trade or any career which requires your creative skills and talents.
Grade 5 in any GCSE art &design subject or Merit in Level 2 BTEC art &design
How is the course assessed? This course is assessed by an externally set assignment with a timed practical examination judged by an external moderator. The examination is effectively the completion of the final practical project, without help.
