What is ASDAN CoPE?
The Certificate of Personal Effectiveness is a nationally recognised qualification outcome of the ASDAN programmes.
CoPE provides a framework for the development, assessment and accreditation of generic and wider key skills and wider activities, through a nationally recognised qualification at Level 3. The qualification offers imaginative ways of accrediting young people’s activities. It promotes, and allows centres to record, a wide range of personal qualities, abilities and achievements of young people, as well as introducing them to new activities and challenges.

Who is it for?
You! CoPE Level 3 is primarily intended for students in post-16 education and offers an ideal solution to the accreditation of the wider activities frequently undertaken as a central part of the post-16 experience.
How is it structured?Students choose challenges from the following six modules:
Active Citizenship, Work Related Activities, Career Planning, Global Awareness, Enrichment Activities, Extended Project. You will be expected to produce a portfolio of evidence, which should demonstrate competence in the Wider Key Skills: * Working With Others * Improving Own Learning and Performance * Problem Solving. You will be expected to complete 15 credits to gain the full Certificate. |
What is it worth?
In addition to developing your Key Skills, CoPE at Level 3 has recognition from UCAS and is worth 70 UCAS points (roughly equivalent to an A grade at AS Level). Your work will be re-submitted for the Wider Key Skills which will gain you an additional 60 UCAS points.
