Independent thinking is hard to teach. The EPQ teaches it by doing.

The Extended Project Qualification is a Level 3 qualification that asks learners to choose a topic, plan their own project, research it deeply and present their findings. It’s roughly equivalent to half an A-Level and recognised across UCAS.

Autonomy is the engine. Learners pick their own subject, set their own deadlines, manage their own scope. By the end, they’ve evidenced thinking, decision making, self-awareness and communication. Four of our six core skills, in one piece of work.

Swipe through to see what the EPQ looks like in practice. Link in bio if you want to bring it to your centre.

ASDAN’s Personal Effectiveness Qualifications is for learners who want to feel more confident in everyday life, not just in exams. 💡

It helps you build the skills that actually matter when you’re making choices, working with other people, solving problems, speaking up, and figuring out your next step. You’ll learn through real tasks, collect evidence of what you can do and see your progress over time.

Personal Effectiveness Qualifications is built around six core skills: learning, communicating, decision making, thinking, team working and self-awareness. It’s designed so you can start at the right level, work at your pace and leave with something real to show for it. Proof of your strengths, your growth and your readiness for what comes next.

If you’re doing Personal Effectiveness Qualifications, what skill are you building most right now? 🤔

Climate anxiety is rising in young people. Action is what turns it into hope. 🌟

That’s the idea behind our Environmental Short Course, co-authored with education consultant Liz Newbon. Learn, think, act. Learn about an issue, think critically about it, then take real action in your own community.

Along the way learners build the green life skills that matter most. Adaptability, empathy, working with others. Skills they’ll use for life, not only in a future career.

And it’s built for every learner. The young people who face the biggest barriers often have the most to gain from connecting with nature and having a voice in shaping the world they want to see.

The course now lives on Equitas, so learners can build a portfolio and present what they’ve achieved in the way that suits them. Written, spoken, visual or digital.

The blog including standouts from the full interview with Liz is on our website now.

This Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re reflecting on the importance of creating learning environments where every learner feels able to thrive. 🍃

Education is about so much more than academic achievement. Confidence, connection, belonging and self-awareness all play a huge role in helping learners grow both inside the classroom and out.

At ASDAN, we believe that supporting wellbeing should be part of everyday education. When learners feel listened to, encouraged and understood, they’re more likely to engage with learning and feel confident in themselves and their futures.

Mental health conversations shouldn’t be limited to one week of the year, but Mental Health Awareness Week is an important opportunity to continue raising awareness and recognising the impact that positive relationships can have on young people.

Every learner’s journey is different, and small moments of encouragement can make a lasting difference.

Thank you to everyone across schools, colleges, trusts, youth and community settings who holds space for learners and for each other, especially at the end of a long week. 🌟
