About Gold Award

  • Gold Arts Award is Level 3 qualification on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) and carries 16 UCAS tariff points 
  • Total Qualification Time: 150 hours (90 guided + 60 independent learning hours) — remember this is only a guide and young people may complete their Gold Award in more or less time. 
  • Gold Arts Award is designed for ages 16 plus but is open to anyone aged from 11 to 25.

Gold Arts Award has two units. 
In Unit 1, young people broaden and extend their own arts activity and learn how their practice relates to the arts sector as a whole. They develop in their chosen art form and produce a new work which either integrates or is influenced by a new art form or genre. Young people attend arts events, work with professional artists and arts organisations and investigate and form a personal view on an issue within the arts.
In Unit 2, as an individual or as a member of a team, young people are responsible for the planning, organisation, promotion, delivery, and review of a project with a public outcome. If working in a team, each young person’s role must include their individual responsibility for the project outcome and allow them to demonstrate and evidence the required knowledge and understanding for each section.
Each unit is distinct and must be evidenced separately, even if activities are undertaken concurrently.
