Burnley College

The Level 4 units lay the foundations of learning by providing a broad introduction to esports. This develops and strengthens core skills while preparing students for specialist subjects at Level 5 or to enter employment with the qualities necessary for job roles that require personal responsibility. Students will gain a wide range of esports knowledge linked to practical skills gained through research, independent study, directed study and workplace scenarios. Students are involved in vocational activities that help them to develop vocational behaviours (the attitudes and approaches required for competence) and transferable skills. Transferable skills are those such as communication, teamwork, research and analysis, which are highly valued in higher education and in the workplace.By the end of Level 4, students will have sound knowledge of the basic concepts of esports. They will be competent in a range of subject-specific skills as well as in general skills and qualities relevant to key areas of esportsEntry RequirementsAll applications are subject to an interview before admission to the course.
