How does UAS work?
Every centre must have a trained coordinator who runs and is responsible for UAS.
UAS is a powerful tool for recognising individuals for specific knowledge, skills and experiences gained through almost any valid educational activity. UAS offers individuals formal recognition by means of accreditation from AQA, the UK’s largest exam board. Students receive a certificate for each unit they complete, which lists the outcomes and experiences covered in the unit. These can then be used in support of applications for further education, training or employment. UAS is very flexible and all units can be customised at no cost. This lets you match units to your existing learning programmes both in terms of delivery and context as well as how you want to evidence completed work. It even enables you to evidence individuals differently to suit their abilities. You can also write your own units or make amendments to existing units.
