ASDAN’s Personal Development Programme complements core subjects while fostering life skills for success beyond education. The programme is a brilliant way of getting our students engaged in learning the core subjects while gaining practical life skills and new experiences.
OVERVIEW OF COURSE
The Personal Development Programmes (PDP) feature 12 modules. Each learner must work from their own student book and compile a portfolio of evidence to show what they have done.
Students gain 1 or 2 credits for each section completed, with each credit representing about 10 hours of activity. Six credits are needed to achieve Bronze, 12 credits for Silver and 18 credits for Gold.
For the 2014 version of the student book, internally-moderated Bronze Credit certificates are available for any learner that completes less than 60 hours work.
Students are required to plan and review their work at key points, explaining how they have developed their skills in six areas: Ability to learn; Teamwork; Problem solving, IT skills; Literacy; and Numeracy. There are pro forma recording documents (Skills Sheets) to guide them.
