FAQs for parents, carers or learners

Only the following Level 3 ASDAN qualifications carry UCAS points for students entering higher education:

• Certificate of Personal Effectiveness (CoPE) Level 3 – 16 points
• Award of Personal Effectiveness (AoPE) Level 3 – 8 points
• Wider Key Skills Level 3 (Northern Ireland only) – 6 points per skill (3 skills available)
• Extended Project Qualification Level 3 (England only) – up to 28 points (depending on grade)

Please note that ASDAN cannot accept registrations from individual students. Students must access these courses through a registered ASDAN provider, for example a school or college. Our advice to students looking to get extra UCAS points through an ASDAN qualification is to contact their local school or college who will then be able to answer any questions.

ASDAN works directly with education providers and does not accept applications from individual candidates. Learners access our courses through our network of centres, which include schools, colleges, pupil referral units and other providers. We recommend talking to your local school, college or other education providers to see if they offer ASDAN courses.

Our member offer is designed to be delivered by education practitioners in centres and is not suitable for parents home educating their children. 

We can organise replacement certificates at a charge of £14 for each certificate. Please email info@asdan.org.uk with the learner name(s), the course the certificate is for, the organisation the learner completed the course with and the moderation date if known, and the reason for the request.
