ACM Works (CLOCK)

This pathway is for practising creative industries professionals everywhere who have already been through the international industry-centred skills recognition and validation programme from CLOCK.

You will already have achieved the industry award of CLOCK Sector Expert and on this programme you will be mentored to transfer your CLOCK Programme outputs to achieve the Post Graduate Certificate in Creative Industries. You will need to register for this pathway within 4 years of completing your CLOCK programme.

Remote

This pathway is for students who prefer to join the programme entirely online as remote learners.

This could be for a range of reasons including to manage your projects or work schedule more effectively or because you are located too far from an ACM campus in the UK, or situated outside the UK for the duration or part of the programme.

This could include a number of students from an organisation, co-working space or a professional association who wish to provide a shared learning space for students on the programme in specific locations for their staff or members.

A Tailored Learning Journey

Whether you are currently working, a self-employed professional or a recent graduate, by studying on our Postgraduate Certificate Programme you will have the opportunity to review, improve and benchmark your current level of professional knowledge and skills, using a relevant professional framework, with the support of a peer learning community.

Throughout your time on the course, your tutors will help you develop the tools needed to evidence your consistent high level of creative practice or enterprise, deepening your self-awareness and critical reflective practice.

Everyone is bound to discover gaps in their knowledge and skills and you will assess your own skillset and use this to engage in continuing professional development throughout your time on the course. This includes the opportunity to engage in peer-to-peer learning, collaborative projects and exchanging ideas, experiences and thought leadership with a peer group of senior academics, professionals and graduates.
