Following the successful introduction of the pilot at AS-Level in the 03/04 and 04/05 academic years, the A2-Level syllabus has been taught from September 2005. MIA has been extended to A2 and from September 2009 it will be taught at GCSE.

There are teaching resources available for teachers and pupils studying Moving Image Arts on the Creative Learning in the Digital Age website, and CCEA’s MIA microsite.
