What does ASDAN mean in AWARDS & MEDALS

ASDAN stands for the Awards Scheme Development and Accreditation Network — an international organisation which provides accreditation for courses and awards for young people in the UK, Ireland and other countries.

ASDAN provide a range of services, including accreditations for courses as well as awards for young people who succeed in their studies or make positive progress in their personal development. They also work with teachers, students, parents and employers to promote personal achievement, citizenship and employability skills.

Any student over the age of 12 can study an ASDAN course if it's offered at their school or college. These accredited courses are available for individuals at any stage of their education — from primary school to university level.

Studying an ASDAN course enables students to develop vital skills that will help them achieve success in life — such as communication, teamwork and problem-solving abilities. In addition to this, they will receive accolades that demonstrate their achievements on their CV's or UCAS applications.
