Foundation Certificate - FC

Level 3 Core

Structure

Experience (professional, semi-professional, amateur or voluntary). Communication skills (literacy and analysis). Enterprise (independence, initiative, self-generated activity). Interdisciplinary (interest, knowledge and ability in other art forms). Audition format includes introduction to LIPA and a practical workshop. The Foundation nature of the programme means that the programme recruitment team may take on students who have not achieved the threshold criteria in certain areas if they have demonstrated greater achievement in others. The threshold criteria may be varied if the student can demonstrate, through other means, their capacity to successfully take advantage of the programme. As such the programme admissions criteria will be of particular benefit to those from non-traditional backgrounds, or who may have had, or have, circumstances or disabilities which hindered their attainment of traditional qualifications. This statement should be seen in the context of the Equal Opportunity statement below. Equal Opportunity LIPA is an equal opportunities organisation and aims to successfully recruit students from a wide range of different socio-economic and personal backgrounds. To ensure effective equality of opportunity within the application process it is subject to regular audit which monitors applicant/student characteristics such as age, gender and ethnicity. Disabled students are also welcomed. All disabled applicants, who meet the minimum entry requirements will be offered an interview/audition. When the need is known in advance, reasonable adjustments to the interview/audition process will be made to ensure equality of access. When the applicant is successful at interview/audition and when reasonable adjustment(s) can be made to the programme to accommodate the applicant a place will be offered. RP(E)L and Credit Transfers The introductory nature of this programme means that RP(E)L and Credit transfers are not applicable.
