The Pearson BTEC International Level 2 Extended Certificate in Creative Media is a 360 guided learning hour (GLH) option with six 60 GLH units. It is intended for learners taking Creative Media as a substantial part of a one-year programme or alongside another area of study.

Two units are mandatory: Unit 1, Research, Develop and Propose Ideas for a Digital Media Product, and Unit 12, Creative Media Production Project. Both use Pearson Set Assignments. Learners select four further units from the allowed optional choices, which may include video, audio, digital print, photography, animation, web, advertising and digital games.

All units are internally assessed and teachers mark the work. Pearson sets the mandatory-unit assignments; centres set assignments for optional units under Pearson's requirements. Confirm permitted combinations in the current Pearson specification. Read the Creative Media overview, then see the unit guide, the GLH guide and the assessment guide. Compare the Award and Certificate.

Check the criteria before the IV does.

checkb.tech reads learner evidence against the official Pearson criteria and reports every criterion as met, partly met or not met — with the evidence cited. It never awards a grade; the teacher stays the assessor.
