NCFE Accreditation

SSR is proud to be working in partnership with the NCFE to offer our students the opportunity to gain formal accreditation at Level 5 (equivalent to an ordinary Bachelors degree/Foundation degree) and Level 6 (equivalent to an Honours degree) on SSR's Audio Engineering Techniques and Technology industry courses in Manchester, London and Jakarta.

NCFE is a National Awarding Organisation, passionate about designing, developing and certificating diverse, nationally recognised qualifications and awards. These qualifications contribute to the success of millions of learners at all levels, bringing them closer to fulfilling their personal goals.

This presents a unique opportunity for SSR students, who can complete our industry course and choose to 'top up' their qualification to a Level 5 or Level 6 NCFE qualification. This provides a faster, cheaper and more direct route into employment than a university course can offer. With tuition fees on the rise and becoming unmanageable for many potential students, the NCFE option provides a credible, nationally recognized alternative to university.

SSR is the only private institution in the UK currently providing NCFE Level 6 qualifications in audio and music production.
