History of the qualification

The Level 3 Suite of Qualifications in Creative Entrepreneurship for the Music Industry was developed to better equip learners with the necessary skills for entry into the music industry, or Higher Education. The qualifications addresses a shortage in provision in the education system. They provide learners with an alternative, contemporary route into the UK music and meet the needs of the industry.

#TheWRD Level 3 qualifications have been written and created with industry collaboration from some of the UK’s leading independent music industry practitioners, trade bodies, organisations and employers including PRS, Julie’s Bicycle, She Said So, the MMF and many more.

#TheWRD’s aspiration is to raise the standard of learning and to level the playing field for entry to the creative industries and to Higher Education in order to develop the next generation of talented entrepreneurs, and to ensure that new entrants to the industry (in all roles) have the necessary up-to-date skills and understanding to ensure business success.

To help achieve this, AIM Qualifications was selected by #TheWRD as the awarding organisation with whom they felt most comfortable to work with to support the design and onward management of the key level 3 qualification, and development of higher apprenticeship standards.
