CRE8 - Ware

CRE8 is a full-time Creative Media and Education programme for 16–19-year-olds, designed to develop the next generation of content creators, designers, marketers, and media professionals.

In partnership with VLUK, our Ware campus offers a dynamic and inclusive learning environment where students gain practical skills, academic support, and real-world industry experience. Whether your passion lies in photography, videography, graphic design, social media, or digital marketing, CRE8 provides the tools, knowledge, and pathways to help you succeed.

Learners benefit from access to industry-standard equipment, workshops with creative professionals, and the chance to work on live briefs with organisations across a range of sectors. Alongside this, students study towards a nationally recognised BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Creative Media Practice — equivalent to three A Levels — opening doors to university, apprenticeships, or direct employment in the creative and marketing industries.

The programme embraces collaboration with professional creatives and businesses, giving students the opportunity to learn directly from influencers, photographers, videographers, editors, and marketing specialists. By working on real-world projects in areas such as social media, fashion, and retail, learners build a portfolio that demonstrates their skills and makes them stand out in a competitive industry.

CRE8 is more than a classroom — it’s a launchpad for ambitious young people ready to build a future in the creative industries. With a focus on professional behaviours, personal growth, and career readiness, this is your opportunity to unlock your creative potential.
