- ASDAN
- ASDAN (Award Scheme Development and Accreditation Network) is a British education charity and awarding organisation, headquartered in Bristol. It provides curriculum programmes and qualifications to help young people develop knowledge and skills for learning, work and life. It began as a research project of the University of the West of England in the 1980s, and was formally established as an educational charity in 1991. ASDAN programmes and qualifications are delivered by over 3,000 secondary schools, special schools, colleges, alternative education providers and youth organisations across the United Kingdom, and in more than thirty countries and territories overseas. As an organisation focused on supporting the next generation, we have recognised the need to adapt our offer, innovate and deliver courses that are fit for the future and better serve the contemporary needs of learners and educators. The stated purpose of the charity is this: "The advancement of education, by providing opportunities for all learners to develop their personal and social attributes and levels of achievement through ASDAN awards and resources, and the relief of poverty, where poverty inhibits such opportunities for learners."ASDAN's charitable fund provides grants to registered centres of ASDAN to help increase educational opportunity and alleviate the effects of deprivation and poverty, both in the United Kingdom and overseas.

ASDAN programmes and qualifications are widely recognised by educators for providing an engaging curriculum that empowers students through personalised learning and choice. Their courses motivate and enhance learners' confidence, self esteem and resilience.
