CITIZENSHIP SHORT COURSE

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The ASDAN Citizenship Short Course accredits up to 60 hours of Citizenship activity. It has been updated to take into account changes to the National Curriculum and Programme of Study requirements for Citizenship at Key Stages 3 and 4. The flexibility of ASDAN’s Short Courses means they can be carried out in a variety of settings, over a time period to suit the individual or co-ordinating centre. Challenge descriptions can be interpreted and adapted according to the situation.

This Short Course can be completed using the student book or is available for learners to complete online through the ASDAN e-portfolio system. Learners log in to complete challenges, record skills development and upload evidence. Tutors can view learner progress and sign off work, leaving feedback as needed.

Requirements

Learners must present evidence of their activities in an organised portfolio or e-portfolio.

This will contain:

a record of challenges completed, with supporting evidence for each challenge.
recording documents, showing how learners have planned and reviewed their activities.
summary of achievement, highlighting skills development.
personal statement.

Course Content

Each learner will need their own copy of the Short Course student book or an e-portfolio login – this contains the challenge content and recording documents.
