ASDAN Short Courses are flexible, portfolio-based programmes designed to accredit up to 60 hours of activity and skills development across a range of topics and curriculum areas. They include life skills as well as team work, research and literacy skills.

ASDAN is a great foundation level course for students who would benefit from small group work. They will be able to take these skills forward into their lives as they mature and grow.

Candidates complete a portfolio of evidence, generated from appropriate activities, which is internally assessed by our teachers. It is then moderated externally by AQA before the qualifications are awarded.
