What are the ASDAN Awards?

ASDAN is approved as an Awarding Organisation for qualifications within the National Qualifications Framework and the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) also recognise the value of ASDAN programmes in developing and providing evidence for the Scottish “Core Skills” (particularly Working with Others), with a number of qualifications listed in the Scottish Credit Qualifications Framework (SCQF).
