Art and Design NCFE Qualifications
We recognise that many home-educated children are looking for alternative pathways to learn and build successful futures. At Creative Club Brighton, we value the importance of recognised qualifications and believe that the Art and Design NCFE offers an excellent alternative for students seeking to progress into college, further education, or future career opportunities.
Our NCFE-accredited Art & Design classes offer a flexible way to gain recognised qualifications without the pressure of external exams. This is a hybrid course with all coursework is submitted online, allowing students to complete their projects from home or in our home ed classroom at their own pace. With full tutor support, we provide in person art lessons and guided feedback to enhance the students learning. Learners can also build a creative portfolio that showcases their skills and meets NCFE standards. We complete this within a supportive, accessible learning environment where we provide SEND resources to make the coursework manageable for every type of learner.
