Short Course Award for Peer Mentors

Who is the Award for?

There are no age restrictions for this flexible multi-level award.

What does it involve?

The peer mentoring award is straight forward to achieve for both participants and their award co-ordinator.  Participants work from an Award book which contains a choice of Personal Challenges.  Generally Challenges are completed over 30 hours or 60 hours which corresponds to either 3 or 6 credits (10 hours = 1 credit).  Peer Mentors present a Portfolio of Evidence of their activities.  The portfolio contains:

- Evidence of Personal Challenges undertaken and completed

- Planning and Reviewing documents

- Completed Record of Progress

- Summary of Skills Development

Certificates are issued by ASDAN through the Mentoring and Befriending Foundation after successful internal moderation of Portfolios by the Award Co-ordinator.

How does the Award fit in to the UK Qualification Framework?

The Award counts as up to half the curriculum requirements of the ASDAN Certificate of Personal Effectiveness (CoPE), which is worth a full GCSE and scores the equivalent of Grade B at Level 2. For advanced students credits from the Award could also count towards the CoPE Level 3, which is a full AS Level, worth 70 UCAS points.
