What Is Pearson BTEC International Level 2 Performing Arts?

Pearson BTEC International Level 2 Performing Arts draws on different areas of performing arts, with a focus on putting on a production. Pearson describes units where learners can develop skills in devising material, multimedia performance and understanding the context in which work was created. The selected units and qualification size shape the balance of performance, creation and production work.

What should teachers plan?

Check the specification for the chosen size, permitted unit combinations, assessment requirements and any Pearson Set Assignments before setting the rehearsal calendar. Build time for development and reflection around the specific evidence learners must submit. Not every unit necessarily uses the same assessment method or production process.
