Vocational & Technical Qualifications
As a specialist contemporary arts awarding body, we work to create engaging Vocational Qualifications to reflect the changing demands of the creative industries, with an ongoing commitment to motivate and support teachers and learners alike.
RSL Awards currently operates in over 50 countries, certificating over 100,000 learners each year.
How do Vocational Qualifications work?
When studying for vocational qualifications in creative subjects, we believe the key focus should be on the application and development of creativity. This allows the learner to have a vocationally-relevant experience whilst studying for a qualification with the rigour and recognition of other qualifications in schools, colleges and training providers.
RSL Awards have a complete portfolio of Creative Industries Qualifications, covering Music, Performing Arts and Creative Digital Media from Levels 1-5.
