ASDAN also offers regulated qualifications from Entry Level to Level 3. British schools overseas can deliver ASDAN qualifications directly as members. Schools following a different national curriculum may need local equivalence recognition, so their qualifications are acknowledged within their own education system. Our international team is happy to support you through this process.
We offer training webinars for all our courses and qualifications, giving practitioners an introduction to the course, guidance on delivery, and an overview of assessment and certification. We can also arrange bespoke INSET training by video conferencing or in person in your country. Tutor guidance, recording documents and teaching resources support every ASDAN course, helping practitioners deliver with confidence.
Delivered in over 40 countries and territories worldwide
Our courses use contextualised, real-world learning to help each learner discover and develop their own abilities. This empowers them to contribute meaningfully to society.
Schools and training providers across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), Asia-Pacific (APAC) and Europe deliver ASDAN's courses and qualifications.
ASDAN in action: Transforming skills and building independence through meaningful learning
Holly Manning, a teacher at Dover Court International School in Singapore, shares how ASDAN programmes have empowered learners:
“ASDAN’s programmes have had a transformative impact on our learners, providing the time and structure for students to explicitly develop key skills that fast-paced mainstream curricula often do not allow.”
“We see these skills transfer meaningfully into other subjects and areas of school life, enriching students’ confidence, independence, and ability to engage purposefully with their learning.”
"One of the greatest strengths of ASDAN is its portfolio-based approach. Our students take real pride in building evidence of their progress over time, and the portfolios provide a tangible, motivating record of their achievements. The breadth of topics within the qualifications also enables us to meet the diverse needs, interests, and abilities of our learners.”
