Background and Adviser training
The Arts Award is a national qualification that recognises how young people develop as artists and arts leaders. The award is a personal learning programme, which develops and assesses both arts-related and transferable skills, such as creativity, communication, planning and teamwork. Young people aged 11-25 can achieve awards at English National Qualification Levels 1, 2 and 3, led through by a trained adviser who might be a teacher, youth worker, artist or other adult in regular contact with them. The Award can be worked on by young people in a wide variety of settings including arts projects, schools and youth clubs.
