Who we are

ASDAN is a curriculum development and awarding organisation. We provide flexible and engaging programmes and qualifications that help young people develop skills for learning, work and life.

Football Short Course

The Football Short Course provides an opportunity to develop and accredit football knowledge and skills through a range of challenges. The flexibility of ASDAN's Short Courses means they can be carried out in a variety of settings, over a time period to suit the individual or co-ordinating centre (up to 60 hours).

Expressive Arts Short Course

ASDAN’s Expressive Arts Short Course offers exciting and rewarding activities to develop skills and knowledge through all forms of expressive arts. This programme helps learners develop practical arts skills, as well as personal, social and work-related skills.

The Expressive Arts Short Course will enable learners to:

  • learn and demonstrate techniques in different forms of expressive arts (eg visual arts, performing arts, music, crafts, writing)
  • develop an awareness of how creative expression and enjoyment of the arts can have a positive impact on mental health and wellbeing
  • develop their own creative voice and produce their own original work
  • gain an understanding of the importance of arts and creativity in society and industry

Sports and Fitness Short Course (Volleyball)

The Sports and Fitness Short Course accredits up to 60 hours of involvement in various sporting activities. The flexibility of ASDAN's Short Courses means they can be carried out in a variety of settings, over a time period to suit the individual or co-ordinating centre. Challenge descriptions can be interpreted and adapted according to the situation.

(Students who opt to choose Volleyball as their main sport can apply for this course.)
