ASDAN
ASDAN ‘Award Scheme Development
& Accreditation Network’
ASDAN is an internationally recognised awarding body who offer courses which can be tailored to individual needs and interests. Their programmes are challenge-based, meaning students can immerse themselves in longer projects, or choose a range of shorter ones, to suit them. ASDAN courses are also relevant to vocational interests and the development of life skills, as well as more traditional curriculum subjects.
​
At TESSAA we are currently offering ASDAN short courses which 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.
