Progression
Overall Goals
To go on in the future, I would like to go into some sort of further education that might be university or maybe a further college course (L3/4?). My ultimate goal is to get enough knowledge and funding to start my own media-related business.

Level 3 Extended Diploma in Back Stage Theatre
"Do you want a career in working in theatre but don't want to be on the stage? Then this is the course for you! Over the two year course in our fully functioning Theatre and Workshop, you will have the opportunity of studying various modules seen below."
Course LinkAt this current time I am looking at doing one of the level 4 courses, I have explored some universities and paths but I am not ready for university, I don’t know if I will ever be. I know degrees can be preferred by a lot of employers but in the creative industry, hands-on experience and skill is much more valuable than theory, this is not saying it’s not important.
I do want to say in education and after this I may decide to go off to university later on or going into work but only the future will tell.
I am looking more towards the pinewood L4 but the sound production course has caught my eye as it’s one of the things I specialize in. I have also put down the L3 Backstage theater course because that includes lighting and sound which are very interesting to me.
