Beliefs & Values Short Course (Asdan Awards)
Beliefs & Values Short Course (Asdan Awards)
The Beliefs and Values Short Course has been updated for 2020 and helps learners aged 13+ to develop the personal and social skills they need to play their role in our modern multicultural society.
It offers a flexible, accessible alternative to religious education at GCSE.
We regularly deliver this short course to Schools, Colleges, Health & Social Care settings as well as Supported Living & other training providers.

Who is it for?
Young people of all abilities, mainly aged between 13 and 19+.
Because Short Courses are multi-level, the focus is on completing challenges and skills development according to individual ability, rather than attainment at a specific level.
