ASDAN

Who we are

ASDAN is a charity with a vision to see the talents and abilities of learners with diverse needs held in high esteem.

We are a curriculum development and awarding organisation providing regulated qualifications, accredited curriculum programmes and a range of other courses. Our mission is to engage learners through relevant and motivating courses to achieve meaningful learning outcomes, which elevate them to progress to further education, training and work and empower them to take control of their lives.

We believe young learners should have the opportunity to discover, develop and utilise their abilities to affirm their identities, contribute to society, and challenge educational and social inequalities. 

ASDAN’s educational principles

Our educational principles underpin our approach to fostering the personal, social and work-related abilities of young learners. They are:

• Building belief
• Engaging and motivating
• Promoting progress and achievement
• Inspiring creativity
• Releasing potential

This is an exciting time to consider getting involved with ASDAN. We have ambitious plans to strengthen and expand our curriculum programmes and qualifications and make better use of our experience and connectivity as a leading education charity to enable learners to make the most of their talents and abilities.
