AQA

We use AQA’s (Assessment and Qualifications Alliance) Unit Award Scheme (UAS) which is a unique way to record learner achievement. Its ‘can do’ approach is used to boost student confidence, engagement, and motivation.

Train your way

Each individual will have a holistic review of the outcomes they wish to achieve and may choose from a range of educational units so the outcomes change as the needs and desires of the individual change.
