Overview

There is a requirement for new stories and scripts on a daily basis in the entertainment industry. This includes writing for films, television, radio as well as the stage and involves a lot of creativity hand in hand with impeccable language skills.

An integral part of the multi million pound entertainment industry, script writing provides the foundation for a great production and good script writers have always been appreciated with awards at many prestigious events like BAFTA and the OSCARS. The starting point of the most dramatic of films and the most robust of plays is a script. All of the romance that takes your breath away, action that makes you grip your seat and dialogues that get imprinted into your memory originate from the pen of a scriptwriter.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
