Art Awards
We’re delighted to announce that Creative Crew Art Workshops is a registered Arts Award advisor and centre. Starting in April 2026 we will offer both Silver and Bronze awards in various creative pathways. The Arts Award is a qualification equivalent to GCSE's, recognised nationally by colleges and universities. There are no exams, the qualification is portfolio and evidence based.
The programme develops:
-
Art Knowledge and skills
-
Understanding of creativity
-
Leadership
-
Independent learning
-
Communication skills
-
Planning and review
The programme is designed to prepare young people for further education and employment.
We offer Bronze and Silver Arts Awards (and hope to offer Gold in the near future) and they can be achieved in the following ways:
Bronze is a Level 1
Qualification Equivalent
standard to a
GCSE 3-1
40 hours guided learning
20 hours independent learning
Silver is a Level 2
Qualification Equivalent standard to a
GCSE 9-4
60 hours guided leanring
35 hours independent learning
Gold is a Level 3
Qualification Equivalent standard to a
A Level with 16 UCAS Points
90 hours guided learning
60 hours independent learning
We recommend starting with Bronze, then once completed moving on to Silver then Gold. As each prepares the learner for the next one along the way. However in exceptional circumstances it is possible to complete the levels in isolation of each other.
Possible subjects
Visual Art, Textiles, Photography, Illustration, Graphic Design and many more
The courses are very much individually led as we encourage students to choose their topic/theme based on their interests, inspirations and aspirations. Their portfolio is then based around these whilst developing their art skills, understanding and knowledge.
All students will create a portfolio (which can be solely digital or it can be a digital copy of a more traditional portfolio/sketchbook). They will attend weekly sessions which will guide & facilitate them through their Arts Award journey ensuring their portfolios cover all units specific to their Bronze and assessment criteria.
Once their portfolios are completed we will mark and moderate their portfolio and submit to Trinity College London for approval. Once approved certificates are issued.
